Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or violation:
“It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain it; and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but, as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Injustice, cruelty, restraint of conscience, oppression, falsity, dishonour, deceit, violation of law and equity?But look how they have cleaned up the cities and what wonderful roads they have built!”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
