If we could do away with death, we wouldn’t object; to do away with capital punishment will be more difficult. Were that to happen, we would reinstate it from time to time.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister’s Travels, from Makarie’s Archive (1829).]
AUTHOR:
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832)
