Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “You made us in the House of Pain. You made us things. Not men, not beasts, part-man, part-beast: things.”
    —Waldemar Young, U.S. screenwriter. Erle C. Kenton. Sayer of the Law (Bela Lugosi)
