Crime and Punishment
“If killing one life could rescue thousands from decay and ruin, would you kill the old woman yourself or not?”
"Love my neighbor!"
"Love yourself before loving anyone else."
"Are you going to kill the old woman yourself or aren't you?"
"I'm off to foreign lands, brother."
"Foreign lands?"
"America."
