We've assembled a number of quotes on subjects that relate to the torture issue; you may find them useful in thinking about the issue, or in writing or preaching on it. The point isn't to agree with the sentiments in all of the quotes, or to honor their authors – but most of them bring something to the discussion in a small, encapsulated way. They are, by definition, taken out of the context which would usually expand on the thought; we apologize for any which significantly distort the author's intention and will remove those brought to our attention.
