“In Italy, most laws are honored more in the breach than the observance. 鈥淔atta la legge, trovato l鈥檌nganno鈥�, goes one saying that means, 鈥減ass a law and we鈥檒l find a way to get around it鈥�.

Maybe other nationalities would be the same if in their countries, too, law enforcement were considered an optional, even by the people charged with that task.”

“No law applies to love, nor that can be.”
