"Murder is a horror, but an often necessary……" — Marquis de Sade

"Murder is a horror, but an often necessary horror, never criminal, which it is essential to tolerate in a republican State. Is it or is it not a crime? If it is not, why make laws for its punishment? And if it is, by what barbarous logic do you, to punish it, duplicate it by another crime?"

— Marquis de Sade
