Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “The law isn’t justice. It’s a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “They are the lovers of law and order who observe the law when the government breaks it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
