“... we are obliged to produce the truth by the power that demands truth and needs it in order to function: we are constrained, we are condemned to admit the truth or to discover it. Power constantly asks questions and questions us; it constantly investigates and records; it institutionalizes the search for the truth, professionalizes it, and rewards it. ... In a different sense, we are also subject to the truth in the sense that truth lays down the law: it is the discourse of truth that decides, at least in part; it conveys and propels effects of power.” NeedsDifferentLawOrderAsksRecordsSubjectsEffectsProduceDemandFunctionLaysRewardsDiscourseObligedKnowledge And Power Author:Michel Foucault

“A license cannot be revoked because a man is red-headed or because he was divorced, except for a calling, if such there be, for which red-headedness or an unbroken marriage may have some rational bearing. If a State licensing agency lays bare its arbitrary action, or if the State law explicitly allows it to act arbitrarily, that is precisely the kind of State action which the Due Process Clause forbids.” IfsMenKindMayStatesActionLawProcessCallingLaysDuesRationalAgencyLicenseArbitraryDivorcedUnbrokenClausesDue ProcessLicensing Author:Felix Frankfurter
“There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.” IfsHeartLawReadingIndividualNaturalEnemyPracticeOur LivesViolenceWrittenSecurityTheoryTrainingMethodLaysIntuitionPlotCustomsInstructionAdoptionRobbersIndividual RightsAbsorptionProtecting Ourselves Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero
“Whenever you're going after something that belongs to you, anyone who's depriving you of the right to have it is a criminal. Understand that. Whenever you are going after something that is yours, you are within your legal rights to lay claim to it. And anyone who puts forth any effort to deprive you of that which is yours, is breaking the law, is a criminal.” LawEffortRightsClaimsLaysCriminalsDeprivingBreaking The LawLegal Rights Author:Malcolm X
“Like music or art, mathematical equations can have a natural progression and logic that can evoke rare passions in a scientist. Although the lay public considers mathematical equations to be rather opaque, to a scientist an equation is very much like a movement in a larger symphony. Simplicity. Elegance. These are the qualities that have inspired some of the greatest artists to create their masterpieces, and they are precisely the same qualities that motivate scientists to search for the laws of nature. LIke a work of art or a haunting poem, equations have a beauty and rhythm all their own.” ArtLawArtistPassionNaturalQualityMovementLogicScientistLaysInspiredSimplicityRhythmMathematicalWorks Of ArtMasterpieceEquationsEleganceHauntingLaws Of NatureSymphonyProgressionEvokeOpaqueMathematical Equations Book:Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension Source: Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension
“In the sacred fact of obligation you touch the immutable, and lay hold, as it were, on the eternities. At the very center of your being, there is a fixed element, and that of a kind or degree essentially sovereign.
