Agatha Christie Quote
You do not comprehend. It is not the victim who concerns me so much. It is the effect on the character of the slayer.What about war?In war you do not exercise the right of private judgement. That is what is so dangerous. Once a man is imbued with the idea that he knows who ought to be allowed to live and who ought not - then he is halfway to becoming the most dangerous killer there is - the arrogant killer who kills not for profit - but for an idea. He has usurped the functions of le bon Dieu.
