(...) The second reason why death penalty should be abolished is that it has never prevented or repressed a crime, since it commits itself one every time that a criminal is brought to the guillotine. This punishment must be suppressed since there is nothing crueler than to make a man loose his life as a consequence for having killed another man. In this way, instead of having one man missing, you will have two, an arithmetic calculation that can please only the head-man or the imbeciles. (..) I hereby declare of having none of the perverted intention which are supposed to corrupt men. (...) Too bad! for those who can read only the evil intention of the author of a philosophical disquisition . Are we sure they wouldn't feel end in being corrupted by the simple reading of Seneca or Charron?" But I am not talking to this kind of people, I am talking only to those who will be able to read me withoout feeling endangered."
