Famous quotes containing the words law, public and/or service:

    “There’s no law against taking off a spaceship. It’s never been done so they haven’t gotten around to prohibiting it.”
    —Rip Van Ronkel, and Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988)

    “Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “In the service of Caesar, everything is legitimate.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
