Famous quotes containing the words law and/or nature:

    “I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    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)

    “No man has received from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom is a gift from heaven, and every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he is in enjoyment of his reason.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
