Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While you're finding evidence of innocence, you also find evidence that points to other people.
Innocence does not find near so much protection as guilt.
We all have the problem of what do you do with the not-guilty-yet in free and democratic societies where you have the presumption of innocence. It's a very difficult problem.
Innocence is a pretty dangerous thing, you know. Revisit Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' or, for that matter, Greene's 'The Quiet American' to find out how destructive it can be.
Everyone is innocent unless proven otherwise.
Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.
We investigate in secret so that we don't smear innocent people.
Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.
Victims suggest innocence. And innocence, by the inexorable logic that governs all relational terms, suggests guilt.
