William Francis Buckley (William F. Buckley, Jr.) Quotes
It was rumored, in 1946, that the hangman in Nuremberg adjusted the nooses of some of the condemned to magnify the pain of suffocation. Such sadism was not called for then and is not called for now.

In this sense, love and God are equivalents.
