Telling victims to accept their loss without recourse is not a sign of virtue—its proof of cowardice. . . And yet, when it comes to the most crushing of debts, the losses that are simply too much to bear, the injuries that are truly a matter of life and death—the murder or rape of a loved one, large-scale human suffering, an assault on dignity so great that honor is not easily recaptured—our math skills suddenly fail us, and we become reluctant to support equivalent punishments. A new calculus is created, one that doesnt add up. - Eye for an Eye: The Case for Revenge by Thane Rosenbaum
