“The whole point of morality is that, given these aggravations, and given the sinful nature of our being, we conform ourselves to moral law, not to our hatreds, frustrations and aggravations. To justify a crime because of aggravations is to reward precisely the evil or the worse side of our being, whereas the point of law and morality is that evil is punished, and moral conduct is to be protected.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
