“Si des individus passionnés, enclins par la passion au crime et au mensonge, se composent de la même manière en un peuple véridique et juste, alors il est bon que le peuple soit souverain. Une constitution démocratique est bonne si d'abord elle fait en sorte que les vouloirs du peuple soient exécutés. Le véritable esprit de 1789 consiste à penser, non pas qu'une chose est juste parce que le peuple la veut, mais qu'à certaines conditions le vouloir du peuple a plus de chances qu'aucun autre vouloir d'être conforme à la justice.”

“You would not search the woodside gay To pick a springtime flower When all the shuddering country groans Before the North Wind's power. Nor would you seek with greedy hand To pluck your vines in May; The wine god gives his gift of grapes When Autumn's on the way. For God has fixed the season's tasks And each receives its own: No power is free to disarray The order God has shown.”

“The woodland made it impossible to run in a straight line. She ran deeper, unsure of her bearing or when she might find civilization. Headlights ahead to the right preceded a drumming of tires on the pavement. The truck stopped. Sharnee altered her course toward the truck and screamed. Fifteen seconds later she pitched forward as if someone grabbed her ankle and threw her to the ground.”
