Wonderful Law

Famous quotes containing the words wonderful and/or law:

    Wistfully watching, with wonderful liquid eyes.
    And all her weight, all her blood, dripping sack-wise down towards
    the earth’s center,
    And the live little-one taking in its paw at the door of her belly.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedient’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
