From Sun Magazine - quotes on the law and justice

Laws bind us. But it is important to remember the law is only what is popular. Not what’s right or wrong. Marilyn Manson

The law embodies the story of a nation’s development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. Emma Goldman
