Famous quotes containing the words monopoly and/or law:

“I’m plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

“The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
