An easy but erroneous assumption would be that there were no loose ends, no unanswered questions. Yet, as with any conspiracy, more than a few still linger.

- Thomas A. Bogar, Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination

Murder is a tawdry little crime; it’s born of greed, or lust, or liquor. Adulterers and shopkeepers get murdered. But when a president gets killed, when Julius Caesar got killed - he was assassinated.

- John Weidman, Spoken by the character, John Wilkes Booth, in Assassins

The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.

- Voltaire (attributed)
