Law Abiding Citizens

Famous quotes containing the words law, abiding and/or citizens:

    There was that law of life so cruel and so just which demanded that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    [There is] an abiding miscommunication between the intellect and the soul. We do not have too much intellect and too little soul, but too little intellect in matters of soul.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
