Quotes by Rachel Dax (?)

“It’s not our place to judge the guilt or innocence of the prisoners, Nurse Webster. The sooner you learn that the better. Any other approach just leads to conflicts of duty and undermines the smooth running of the institution. We are here to ensure that the prisoners are dealt with firmly and professionally. It’s up to their lawyers to handle matters pertaining to their sentences.”
― Rachel Dax , After the Night

“There are many people in this world who think that it is wrong for two women to be in love, and also wrong for two men. But even though lots of people disapprove and the Church says it’s a sin, I can’t see why a God of love would say it was wrong for two people to love each other – it just doesn’t make any sense.”
