He deserved to die except that nothing deserves death.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that while someone may have done something morally wrong or deserving of punishment, no one inherently deserves to die. It challenges the concept of deserving death as a form of punishment, suggesting that no crime or wrongdoing justifies the taking of a person's life. It prompts reflection on the value of life and questions the validity of justifications for capital punishment or similarly extreme measures.

What should we do? We have no wish to interrupt the destroye

What should we do? We have no wish to interrupt the destroyer's work of saving lives... But war is war and the people being picked up out of the water are soldiers bound for the front; soldiers who are to shoot at our German brothers... The question whether we are to perish in despair or defiance, or survive all trails with a live conscience, depends wholly and solely on whether we believe in the forgiveness of sins.
