" Life is brutal, tragic, unbearable, and inhumane at times. The pain one man can cause another is limitless, but I didn't see--I couldn't see--how creating more pain made anything better. When you took a life, it didn't bring back a life. It didn't undo what was done. It wasn't logical. We were just creating an endless chain of death and killing, every link connected to the next. "
