The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.

Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws.

I am one of those who are made for exceptions, not for laws.
