Famous quotes containing the words law, public and/or service:

    “All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “A man does not automatically become a public figure because he happens to build an empire out of chicken fat.”
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    “Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)
