You should see how it feels with your feet on the ground

The Binding Fabric that is Justice

"If there is any society among robbers and murderers, they must at least abstain from robbing and murdering one another. Society may subsist, though not in the most comfortable state, without beneficence; but the prevalence of injustice must utterly destroy it. Justice, is the main pillar that upholds the whole edifice."

Adam Smith

The Resonance of the Omitted Thing

"There's a feeling of power in reserve, a power that drives right through the bone, like a shiver you sense in the shaft of an axe when you take it into your hand. You can strike, or you can not strike, and if you choose to hold back the blow, you can still feel inside you the resonance of the omitted thing."

Wolf Hall
