    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference, and what people call partiality may simply mean mental activity.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigree of nations.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
