    Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.
    Hope Edelman (20th century)

    One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    Though Justice against Fate complain,
    And plead the antient Rights in vain:
    But those do hold or break
    As Men are strong or weak.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
