"Most people come to fear not death itself, but the many terrible ways of dying."

Death

"But the single overwhelming reason why jails are bursting is longer sentences given for more crimes."

Reason

"So what really works? Treatments in jail do some good, but it's mostly too late: finding a family and a job or just growing older make most prisoners eventually give up crime."

Family

"People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death."

Faith

"How do you make any sense of history, art or literature without knowing the stories and iconography of your own culture and all the world's main religions?"
