Sentenced Quotations

By the age of 24, I found myself convicted in prison in Egypt, being blacklisted from three countries in the world for attempting to overthrow their governments, being subjected to torture in Egyptian jails, and sentenced to five years as a prisoner of conscience.

Criminals don't realize that when they have a single piece of mail that's stolen, they can get sentenced up to five years in prison--and up to 250 thousand dollar fine. And that's pretty serious.

I think vampires are different from human beings, but they're sentenced to eternity on this planet. They have the same confusion about love and permanence, integrity, and denial. These qualities really are the same in vampire characters as in humans. I think they're universal themes.

Brian Dugan's crimes -- and the murder of Jeanine was not the only one -- are horrific. But I hope that whoever ultimately decides Brian Dugan's fate bears in mind that he also had the moral courage to accept responsibility for a crime he alone committed, even though he knew that the blame had fallen elsewhere. In so doing he set in motion the chain of events that ultimately allowed two innocent men who had been sentenced to death to be restored to freedom. Dugan's evil deeds are extraordinary and repugnant, but his courage also was extraordinary.

People can exchange notes with him if they want, but I don't think it really adds anything. The question is whether he deserves the punishment he was sentenced to, and I don't find much enlightening in these discussions.
