Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or law:

    Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique.... Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
