"As I see it, the sole motivating factor behind the death penalty is vengeance, not justice, and I firmly believe that a government that forbids killing among its citizens should not be in the business of killing people itself."
— Larry Flynt (1942- ) "Don't Execute the Man Who Paralyzed Me," The Hollywood Reporter (October 17, 2013)
