Executioners Quotes

In such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners. Albert Camus
And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. Howard Zinn
Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals the fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such as world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. Howard Zinn
When one creature is murdered, another is immediately deprived of life in a slow torturing manner; then the executioners, their hands yet reeking with the blood of innocence, believe that they have done a great deed. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Just as there are predatory birds, so there are predatory ideas: I came under their spell. . . .Just as the survivors say that no one will ever understand the victims, what I must tell you is that you will never understand the executioners. Elie Wiesel
Perhaps the sexual life is the great test. If we can survive it with charity to those we love and with affection to those we have betrayed, we needn't worry so much about the good and the bad in us. But jealousy, distrust, cruelty, revenge, recrimination ... then we fail. The wrong is in that failure even if we are the victims and not the executioners. Virtue is no excuse. Graham Greene

A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is. George R. R. Martin
Tom Robbins quote: "He who jokes in the executioners face can be destroyed, but..."
He who jokes in the executioners face can be destroyed, but never defeated. Tom Robbins
In lieu of those checks and balances central to our legal system, non-citizens face an executive that is now investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and jailer or executioner. In an Orwellian twist, Bush'sorder calls this Soviet-style abomination 'a full and fair trial. William Safire
Primarily, God is not bound to punish sin; he is bound to destroy sin. The only vengeance worth having on sinis to make the sinner himself its executioner. George MacDonald
I try to be a good cop. I try to be a good little soldier and follow orders up to a point. But in the end I’m not really a cop, or a soldier. I am a legally sanctioned murderer. I am the Executioner. Laurell K. Hamilton
Those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know. And even the survivors who have decided to bear witness confirm it in their way: They almost all say that their experience can't be related in words, and yet, as witnesses, they're morally compelled to resort to them. Their silence, except if it is ontologically integral to their disposition, would not help truth triumph. It would only open the road to oblivion and, as one survivor put it, enable the executioner to kill his victims a... Elie Wiesel

It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "We live in a world where one needs to choose - to be the..."
We live in a world where one needs to choose - to be the victim or the executioner, and nothing else. Albert Camus
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "I am the executioner. Murder someone in my town, and i'm the..."
I am the executioner. Murder someone in my town, and i'm the one you get to see. Once. Laurell K. Hamilton
