Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurture and sustains our capacity for compassion." (Just Mercy, 289)

"The death penalty is not about whether people deserve to die for the crimes they commit. The real question of capital punishment in this country is, Do we deserve to kill?" (Just Mercy, 313)
