“But let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.”

“If you think about it long enough, you see that the paradox is actually pointing you to the idea that we have no freedom whatsoever. If we're forced to use free will, what meaning does freedom have?”

“Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.”

“--the long luxury of your own freedom has made you incapable of doing us justice now.”

“Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”

“If we are all going to have tragedies, if none of us can escape them, then surely we have to learn from them, we have to gain something. And we have to use what we have gained. Those of us who have fought tooth and nail to overcome tragedy are, after all, nothing else, proof that such things can be survived. So we can actually help others survive their tragedies too. As long as they’ll let us.”
