“I'll now fall back a furlong or two in me chair, while me larned but misguided collagues r-read th' Histhry iv Iceland to show ye how wrong I am. But mind ye, what I 've said goes. I let thim talk because it exercises their throats, but ye 've heard all th' decision on this limon case that'll get into th' fourth reader.' A voice fr'm th' audjeence, ' Do I get me money back ? ' Brown J. : ' Who ar-re ye ? ' Th' Voice : ' Th' man that ownded th' limons.' Brown J. : ' I don't know.' (Gray J., White J., dissentin' an' th' r-rest iv th' birds concurrin' but fr entirely diff'rent reasons.)”

“Interpretation of laws and it's right application in its true spirit is the bedrock of any judicial mechanism and a legal system..There is a need to check the crevices of its precedents in the light of the laws at hand and the facts that have been dealt with. Though primafacie this may seem as a miniscule idea, it is wisdom to bear in mind that the purpose of the law is executing proper justice and executing order, and if this is ignored then, the purpose of the existence of such a mechanism of justice is itself thwarted. Thereby discussion on the principles of application of laws and it's interpretation in administration of justice is called for.”

You must do the work and determine precisely what your suck looks like. This will require you to work through the deep-rooted aspects of your life and push yourself to be open to the process”

“Sentindo-se desde algum tempo indisposto e melancólico, principalmente depois que Odette apresentara Forcheville aos Verdurin, desejaria ir descansar um pouco no campo. Mas não teria coragem de deixar Paris um único dia enquanto Odette ali estivesse. A atmosfera estava quente; eram os mais belos dias de primavera. E muito embora atravessasse uma cidade pétrea para meter-se nalgum recinto fechado, o que sempre tinha diante dos olhos era um parque que possuía perto de Combray, onde, desde as quatro horas, antes de chegar à horta de aspargos, graças ao vento que sopra dos campos de Méséglise, se podia, debaixo de uma latada, gozar de tanta frescura como à beira do tanque bordado de miosótis e palmas-santa-rita, e onde, quando ele jantava, corriam em torno da mesa, afestoados pelo jardineiro, os ramos de groselhas e rosas.”
