Novel & Cerita Who Said The End Justifies The Means

“But Kael… I just stood there and let that man be terrified of me. I let him think I would hurt him if he didn’t talk.” “Did you actually hurt him?” Kael asked. “No. But I think I would have if Maya told me to. And that scares me.” Kael stopped stretching and looked at me. "You want to know what scares me? The thought of losing you. Losing Lyra, Zara, Maya, everyone here. That scares me more than anything I might have to do to protect us." “So… you think the ends justify the means?” I asked. “No,” he said. “But sometimes there aren’t any good choices. Only less horrible ones.” He stood up slowly. “You didn’t harm that prisoner. You used fear to get information. That’s different from hurting

“Sweetness, you really like killing things.” “I do not.” I protested. But the protest was all for not. Evander was right, if the crime warranted it, I did want to kill for it. “Ok, well maybe I do. If someone commits a crime that warrants killing, they should be killed. Then maybe, just maybe someone else will think twice about doing the wrong thing.”

Maybe because they are rule breakers that's why they are like that. "Marcus, the end does not justify the mean. No matter how successful the mission is, if you did break laws to obtain it, you can still escape from the fact that you violated some laws and you have to face the consequence-" What I was about to say was cut off because Draco suddenly interjected.

“You think this is the end, don’t you?” “It is the end. There’s nothing you can say. It’s over. Give it up. There’s nothing you can do right now that would justify your actions. In fact, whatever you do right now would actually prove to Eloise, Edward, Bryan, the board… everybody around you… right, that you are a menace.” I leaned forward, my elbows on the cold table as I clasped my hands under my chin. “You really have no idea who I am.” A maniacal laugh left my lips in a small way before I leaned in to look into his eyes.

Scarlett started the car. "He knows being nice always will not do. It's a dog-eat-dog world. And Emma really didn't lose anything, did she? Her father got her a seat in the university she wanted to get in, and she wasn't expelled. But if it were you who got caught, you definitely would have been expelled. In a way, it was self-defense. Many will say it is wrong, maybe it IS wrong. But not in Jerry's book!" Jacques was of differing opinion. What she did was wrong and she strongly believes that the end does not justify the means. And so she tried to be honest all her life.

Not sure about the last one, but we’ll see. And if he thinks I’ll let this slide without punishing him for it, then he doesn’t know me yet. He intentionally hurt my father, made me and my sister go through hell for about two minutes thinking that he might suffer very badly or maybe even die due to the severity of his injury. The end justifies the means is not something I can stand for. Not when it comes to this man lying in front of me. He should have let things work out on their own instead of going to such extremes.
