"I see, these books are probably law..." - Quote by Franz Kafka

“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.”

“In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.”

“People keep themselves at a tolerable height above an infernal abyss toward which they gravitate only by putting out all their strength and lovingly helping one another. They are tied together by ropes, and it's bad enough when the ropes around an individual loosen and he drops somewhat lower than the others into empty space; ghastly when the ropes break and he falls. That's why we should cling to the others.”

“The cause of all the blunders committed by man arises from this excessive self-love. For the lover is blinded by the object loved; so that he passes a wrong judgment on what is just, good and beautiful, thinking that he ought always to honor what belongs to himself in preference to truth. For he who intends to be a great man ought to love neither himself nor his own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by himself, or by another.”

“There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.”

“The arms are fair, When the intent of bearing them is just.”

“Law is order, and good law is good order.”

“...one Greek city state had a fundamental law: anyone proposing revisions to the constitution did so with a noose around his neck. If his proposal lost he was instantly hanged.”

“A constitution should be framed so as not to impede the action of government, nor force the government to its violation.”
