Murderers don't get forgiven just because we promise to be good from now on. We have to earn our way back. One hundred is the price. One hundred lives for each we took. That seems fair. That's how we get whole again and that's our work, from now until as long as it takes. Bill Willingham
About This Quote

When a person is murdered, it can be hard to find peace. Life seems unfair and the pain of losing a loved one can be unbearable. However, if a person is truly heartbroken and wants to make a difference, he or she must move on and help the world out of the ashes of their loss.
