Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or fictions:
“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)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
