मैं मृत्युदंड के पक्ष में था और मौत की सजा का विरोध करने वालों को ऐसे लोगों के रूप में देखता था जिनका दिल उनके दिमाग से बड़ा था। इस विषय पर चार साल के गहन अध्ययन ने धीरे-धीरे उस धारणा को बदल दिया। अंत में मुझे विश्वास हो गया कि इस सजा का विरोध करने वाले अपने निष्कर्षों में सही थे... और यह कि भावुक दृष्टिकोण उनके खेमे में और तर्कसंगत दृष्टिकोण इसके समर्थकों के खेमे में ले जाता है, मामला इसके बिल्कुल विपरीत था।
I was in favour of the death penalty, and disposed to regard abolitionists as people whose hearts were bigger than their heads. Four years of close study of the subject gradually dispelled that feeling. In the end I became convinced that the abolitionists were right in their conclusions...and that far from the sentimental approach leading into their camp and the rational one into that of the supporters, it was the other way about.

वाक्य की शुरुआत 'और' (and) से करना एक व्याकरण संबंधी अशुद्धि है, यह अब बस एक धुंधली सी अंधविश्वास भरी धारणा बनकर रह गई है। ऑक्सफ़ोर्ड अंग्रेज़ी शब्दकोश (OED) में 10वीं से 19वीं शताब्दी तक के ऐसे कई उदाहरण मिलते हैं; पूरी बाइबिल ऐसे वाक्यों से भरी पड़ी है।
That it is a solecism to begin a sentence with 'and' is a faintly lingering superstition. The OED gives examples ranging from the 10th to the 19th c.; the Bible is full of them.
