Donna Tartt, American Novelist (1963-  )
I'm not sure whay I've been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories.
Donna Tartt, American Novelist (1963-  )
Murder is not the crime of criminals, but that of law-abiding citizens.

In the same way he's fascinated by crosswords, the puzzle of solving the murder is what drives him on.

I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.
Charlize Theron, South African Actress (1975-  )
Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally.

But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder.
Benjamin Tucker, American Activist (1854-1939)
I have also seen it stated that Capital punishment is murder in its worst form. I should like to know upon what principle of human society these assertions are based and justified.
Benjamin Tucker, American Activist (1854-1939)
If I was a bad character that got away with murder like we see on other shows, I do not think I would like it because that sends a message that you can do these horrible things and never pay for it.

Earl Warren, American Judge (1891-1974)
Every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man's life.
Daniel Webster, American Statesman (1782-1852)
When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder.
Simone Weil, French Philosopher (1909-1943)
The white man's victory soon became complete by fraud, violence, intimidation and murder.
Ida B. Wells, American Activist (1862-1931)
In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same.
Ida B. Wells, American Activist (1862-1931)
The alleged menace of universal suffrage having been avoided by the absolute suppression of the negro vote, the spirit of mob murder should have been satisfied and the butchery of negroes should have ceased.
Ida B. Wells, American Activist (1862-1931)
Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense.
Ida B. Wells, American Activist (1862-1931)
