To point and say, 'his daughter is good so he must be good' is to assume that anyone bad had bad parents. You could not judge his character that way.'
Courfeyrac believes choice makes a person; their actions and decisions, not where they come from.
'I will not tell you it was good to send a man away based on things you had learned. You will judge yourself for that. I am only going to remind you that you were not in possession of any fact that could have changed your mind. Condemn yourself if you must, only remember kindness as well. No man is perfect.'
