State Arrest

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or arrest:

“So that the life of a writer, whatever he might fancy to the contrary, was not so much a state of composition, as a state of warfare; and his probation in it, precisely that of any other man militant upon earth,—both depending alike, not half so much upon the degrees of his WIT—as his RESISTANCE.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
