Famous quotes containing the word law:

    In a democracy—even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-élitist one—the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)

    Since you were so thankfully confused
    By law with someone else, you cannot be
    Semantically the same as that young beauty:
    It was of her that these two words were used.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Making it a valid law to learn by suffering.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
