Man has no right to kill his brother, it is no excuse that he does so in uniform. He only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.

» Percy Bysshe Shelley - all quotes »
To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One murder made a villain,
Millions a hero. Princes were privileged
To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime.Beilby Porteus
"My mother is a ventriloquist – but not professionally. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father." Waiting a beat, Liebman adds, "I got my brother to do it."
Wendy Liebman
There is a difference. If you kill to take money or rob, it is plain murder, but if you kill because of political reasons, that is a political murder.
Rudolf Hoss
Again, there is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have also their altars and their religion.
