Written Law

Famous quotes containing the words written and/or law:

    Now that I have written many words,
    and let out so many loves, for so many,
    and been altogether what I always was
    a woman of excess, of zeal and greed,
    I find the effort useless.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
    Charles Macklin (1690–1797)
