Famous quotes containing the words private and/or law:

    That’s interesting. Sort of a private preserve for teenagers, huh? I suppose as adults we’re lucky to find a parking space.
    —Kenneth Langtry. Herbert L. Strock. Prof. Frankenstein (Whit Bissell)

    I believe it was a good job,

    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
