I believe in the inherent good of people. I believe that someone can make a mistake and live to redeem themselves another day. Maybe that's why I don't believe in the death penalty. It forecloses all possibilities.

About This Quote

I believe in the inherent good of people. I believe that someone can make a mistake and live to redeem themselves another day. Maybe that’s why I don’t believe in the death penalty. It forecloses all possibilities. To believe in the good of everyone is unrealistic, but it is possible to forgive people when they do wrong.
