Spoken by Edmond Dantes, Alexandre Dumas' protagonist in The Count of Monte Cristo after having been framed and imprisoned for imaginary crimes. Dantes had lost his fiancee, a son he had no idea existed, and his youth to the worst prison France had to offer - all at the hand of his best friend.

Abbe Faria: God said "Vengeance is mine".
Edmond: I don't believe in God.
Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter. He believes in you.


Does a person who has been treated unjustly have a right to execute vengeance upon the perpetrators of injustice?

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Mohandas Gandhi
