Quote #9 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Death Penalty and Barbarity
“Rascals such as he was are still living here and there today (see for example the memoirs of Ritter von Lang) in the midst of the moral. It is not convenient to live among them certainly, as one is not sure of his life for a moment; but can you say that it is more convenient to live among the moral? One is just as little sure of his life there, only that one is hanged "in the way of justice," but least of all is one sure of his honor, and the national cockade disappears in a flash. The hard fist of morality treats the noble nature of egoism altogether without compassion.”
