Killing Quotes
-
In the name of sense, man, if God made fish to be eaten, what difference does it make if I enjoy the killing of them before I eat them?

William Cowper Prime

I know well enough that very few people who are supposedly interested in writing are interested in writing well. They are interested in publishing something, and if possible in making a "killing." They are interested in being a writer not in writing. . . If this is what you are interested in, I am not going to be much use to you.
Flannery O'Connor

For they imagined as they wished--that it was a wild shot,/ an unintended killing--fools, not to comprehend/ they were already in the grip of death./ But glaring under his brows Odysseus answered: 'You yellow dogs, you thought I'd never make it/ home from the land of Troy. You took my house to plunder,/ twisted my maids to serve your beds. You dared/ bid for my wife while I was still alive./ Contempt was all you had for the gods who rule wide heaven,/ contempt for what men say of you hereafter./ Your last hour has come. You die in blood.

The tendency to cruelty should be watched in children and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage.

Children should from the beginning, be brought up in an abhorrence of killing or tormenting living beings.
John Locke
