State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala "Terri Schiavo is now a martyr. Her death is not in vain."

Joaquin Navarro-Valls, Vatican spokesman "The circumstances of the death of Ms. Terri Schiavo have rightly disturbed consciences. An existence was interrupted. A death was arbitrarily hastened because nourishing a person can never be considered employing exceptional means."

Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Florida "My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family members involved in this tragic situation today as they mourn the passing of Terri. My sincere hope is that Terri has finally found peace."

Dr. Richard Land, Southern Baptist Convention "This is a sad day for America. It's a particularly sad day for anyone who is physically or mentally handicapped, or seriously and debilitatingly ill, and those who love them."

Woodside Hospice employees "In this hour of sadness and reflection, the volunteers and staff of The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast are humbled that we have had the privilege of caring for Terri Schiavo and ministering - to the best of our ability - to everyone involved. We extend our sympathy to her entire family and honor the courage of conviction demonstrated by so many. We could never have imagined such an unprecedented experience. Clearly, it has raised questions that transcend Terri - or any individual person. This is about each and every one of us. It's about how we live now that we have been forced to confront the reality of our own mortality. Our profound spiritual reflection has led us to grapple with some of life's most difficult issues and reflect on our own values and beliefs about life and death, about marriage and family, about our democracy itself."

The only good one at that place - quit. Murderers rationalizing.
