Famous quotes containing the words state and/or legislation:
“Such is my jealousy and such my hate
though I would state it otherwise.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
