“So long as the precise letters of the law are more important than justice, there'll only be the illusion of order, but no justice.”

“People love to say, nobody is above the law, which is one of the most dangerous delusions of the social psyche. It is a lie fed to the meek citizens of a nation to keep them obedient to the state, even in the face of corruption. Every human is above the law, until the law that governs the society is made incorruptible (or at least close to incorruptible).”

“The way to a crime-free world is simple, but it lies outside of all the legal 'n partisan muck. Take away the guns from the kids on the street, put books in their hands and food in their stomach.”

“Citizen Vain (The Sonnet)
All the law in the world cannot bring order,
In a society where the citizens are indifferent.
A citizen responsible is a society responsible,
A citizen on guard is a society with upliftment.
If the citizen can't tell right from wrong on their own,
It's not order but merely a revolting illusion of order.
Take away all punishment and you shall soon find out,
Law only forces repression, not reformation of disorder.
Without an actual reformation of the citizen's mind,
Sooner or later all nations end up in fundamentalist dump.
Pay less attention to law, and more attention to education,
Humanizing education is the only cure for the hoodlums.
In a world full of citizen vain, be a citizen vanguard!
There can be no order, unless the citizens stand on guard.”

“Law is there to enforce punishment, that's why it's called law enforcement. Civilians are meant to stand dutybound for order, that's why it's called civic duty, my friend.”

“Love-Abiding Law (The Sonnet)
Love is the master-key to social troubles,
Law is but an inferior and cheaper stand-in.
Instead of obsessing over cooking up more law,
Let's shift the focus on loving and caring.
Do you think love is nothing but a commercial object,
With your olympian authority which you can legalize!
Who do you think you are that you'll legalize order!
You can legalize toys, telephones, not love and light.
Know your place, o puny apes, on a puny little blue dot,
Before standing as authority bearing your badge of law.
There are more things in the vastness of time and space,
Than dreamt up in your paleolithic construct of law.
An ounce of love brings more change than a 100 pounds of law.
What we need is not law-abiding love, but love-abiding law.”
