Famous quotes containing the words law and/or institutions:

    “The law isn’t justice. It’s a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “There are no institutions in America: there are only fashions.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
