Quote by Terry Goodkind

“You imply a higher value to a life because of a young age. The line, my dear, across which the value of life becomes petty. Where is the line?" "But a child-" He held up a cautionary finger. "Do not think to play on my emotions by plying me with the value of the life of a child, as if a higher value can be placed on life because of age. When is a life worth less? Where is the line? At what age? Who decides? All life is of value. Dead is dead, no matter the age.”
