Leo Strauss
“Just as the banqueteers are drunk from wine, the citizens are drunk from fears, hopes, desires, and aversions and are therefore in need of being ruled by a man who is sober.”
Leo Strauss, History of Political Philosophy

Michel Foucault
“Humanity does not gradually progress from combat to combat until it arrives at universal reciprocity, where the rule of law finally replaces warfare; humanity installs each of its violences in a system of rules and thus proceeds from domination to domination. The nature of these rules allows violence to be inflicted on violence and the resurgence of new forces that are sufficiently strong to dominate those in power. Rules are empty in themselves, violent and unfinalized; they are impersonal and can be bent to any purpose. The successes of history belong to those who are capable of seizing these rules, to replace those who had used them, to disguise themselves so as to pervert them, invert their meaning, and redirect them against those who had initially imposed them; controlling this complex mechanism, they will make it function so as to overcome the rulers through their own rules.”
Michel Foucault, Nietzsche, la Genealogía, la Historia

Daniel Quinn
“Having saddled yourself with laws that you *assume* will be broken, you've never found anything to do that makes better sense than punishing people for doing exactly what you expected them to do in the first place. For ten thousand years you've been making and multiplying laws that you fully expect to be broken, until now I suppose you must have literally millions of them, many of them broken millions of times a day.[...]The very officials that you elect to uphold the laws break them. And at the same time your pillars of society somehow find it possible to become indignant over the fact that some people have little respect for the law.”
Daniel Quinn

Michael  Grant
“Hey! One of Edilio’s soldiers just came staggering in from the gas station. He says someone attacked, took the place over.â€�
That silenced the argument.
Sam, with exquisite contempt, turned to his girlfriend and said, “You want to go deal with it, Astrid?�
Astrid flushed red.
“No? I didn’t think so. Guess it will be up to me then.�
He left silence in his wake.
“Maybe we better pass some laws real quick so Sam can save our butts legally,� Howard said.
“Howard, go get Orc,� Albert said.
“Now you’re giving me orders, Albert?â€� Howard shook his head. “I don’t think so. Not you or her,â€� he said, jerking a thumb at Astrid. “You may not think much of me, you two, but at least I know who saves our butts. And if I got to take orders from someone, it’ll be the someone who just walked out of here.”
Michael Grant, Lies

George Gillespie
“If obedience is the chief thing good stood upon, why are not other laws and statutes urged as strictly as those which concern ceremonies?”
George Gillespie, A Dispute Against the English Popish Ceremonies Obtruded on the Church of Scotland

Tadeusz Konwicki

Tadeusz Konwicki, A Minor Apocalypse

Steven Magee

Akshay Vasu
“We always become weaker when our soul gets into a stronger desire to own another. Like the way, our knees gets weaker when we see into their eyes. And the way, our hearts and minds defy every law of gravity and make us feel light and float into the infinity. The way, our soul bonds to theirs and becomes stronger. The way, their touch feels like thousands of stars bombarding together ripping us out of our senses and reality. Filling every void inside us, and how everything seems so right. Like a dream, that we never want to end. Like a dream, where we want to be lost forever and never want to find our way back home.”
Akshay Vasu

Danny Mekić
“Privacyâ€� is an unusable term. We should instead talk about freedom, autonomy and self-determination of the individual. Being allowed to be yourself, to think whatever you want and to act within the law with no hindrance. That resonates with everyone.”

Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
