Legal Eye

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or eye:

    If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    We have no prairies
    To slice a big sun at evening—
    Everywhere the eye concedes to
    Encroaching horizon,
    Is wooed into the cyclops’ eye
    Of a tarn.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
