Law And Order Quotes

“Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. An honest woman can sell tangerines all day and remain a good person until she dies, but there will always be naysayers who will try to convince you otherwise. Perhaps this woman did not give them something for free, or at a discount. Perhaps too, that she refused to stand with them when they were wrong — or just stood up for something she felt was right. And also, it could be that some bitter women are envious of her, or that she rejected the advances of some very proud men. Always trust your heart. If the Creator stood before a million men with the light of a million lamps, only a few would truly see him because truth is already alive in their hearts. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to her.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“My biggest problem with modernity may lie in the growing separation of the ethical and the legal”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

― Martin Luther King Jr.

“This is how we are being governed right now, people.
Six conservative justices.
They're just doing what they want.

And what they want is retrogression,
maintenance of the status quo--
not even the current status quo,
but that
from a hundred years ago...

Liberty for me, say the privileged white men in charge,
because they can.
And, to keep everyone in their pre-Reconstruction pre-women's-rights place:
Law and order for you.

Liberty for me.
Law and order for you.”
― Shellen Lubin

Small government for gun ownership,
what husbands do to their families inside the home,
and rich people's taxes.
Large government for the rights of everyone else
to breathe, to work, to love, to grow,
to read, to pray or not in their own way,
to think.

Liberty for me, say the privileged white men in charge,
because they can.
And, to keep everyone in their pre-Reconstruction pre-women's-rights place:
Law and order for you.

Liberty for me.
Law and order for you.”

“The world needs less cops and more teachers. Law enforcement only produces an illusion of order, it's the teachers who can create a crime-free society.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Love alone brings order eternal,
Order brought by law is shortlived.
Only selfless lovers make good lawmakers,
All others are just playing make belief.

Let love come as apocalypse and wipe out,
All that is rigid, all that is prehistoric.
Welcome love into your life as a purifying force,
Let it bring you to life anew and terrific.

Life is terrific when life has love but,
To have love and to have lover ain't the same.
Lover isn't one who has someone to love them back,
But one who radiates love,
despite living in drought without rain.

None knows the value of rain,
But the land of eternal drought.
None knows the value of love,
But the heart that loves despite hurt.

Only the one who knows pain,
Can love another without gain.
Only the heart that knows hurt,
Can help another without rain.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amor Apocalypse: Canım Sana İhtiyacım

“Few would guess that our prison population leaped from approximately 350,000 to 2.3 million in such a short period of time due to changes in laws and policies, not changes in crime rates. Yet it has been changes in our laws—particularly the dramatic increases in the length of our prison sentences—that have been responsible for the growth of our prison system, not increases in crime.”
― Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

“This doesn't mean we can or should return to an analog past: there was a lot that was wrong with the old media world, and there is much that is right about the new: political movements, online forums, and new ideas that wouldn't exist without it. But all these changes--from the fragmentation of the public sphere to the absence of a center ground, from the rise of partisanship to the waning influence of respected neutral institutions--do seem to bother people who have difficulty with complexity and cacophony. Even if we weren't living through a period of rapid demographic change, even if the economy were not in turmoil, even if there were no health crisis, it is still the case that the splintering of the center right and the center left, the rise in some countries of separatist movements, the growth in angry rhetoric, the proliferation of extremist and racist voices that had been marginalized for half a century would persuade a chunk of voters to vote for someone who promises a new and more orderly order.”
― Anne Applebaum, Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism

“The only way crime will increase and get out of hand it is because those who are supposed to stop it are part of it and they are benefitting from it.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Law is like a band-aid. Band-aids don't heal the wound, they only prevent further infection while your natural immune system does the healing. Likewise, law doesn't cure crime, it only keeps crime in check, while individual accountability treats the inhumanity that causes crime. And at some point the band-aid must come off, because, just like a body covered in band-aid is the sign of a sick person, a society covered in law is the sign of a sick species.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Government of baboons invests in police 'n defense contracts, while a truly civilized government invests in education.”

― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“What’s The Difference (Sonnet 1037)

If a scientist has no humility,
what's the difference between
a scientist and a computer!
If a doctor has no warmth,
what's the difference between
a doctor and a butcher!

If a teacher has no curiosity,
what's the difference between
a teacher and a circus trainer!
If a filmmaker has no originality,
what's the difference between
a filmmaker and a photocopier!

If a cop cannot practice self-correction,
what's the difference between
a cop and an executioner!
If a theologian has no integrative spirit,
what's the difference between
a theologian and a mumbling parrot!

If a modern human cannot balance reason and warmth,
what's the difference between a sentient human
and a creature from the swamp!”

“Things fall apart, Ciena. Our parents saw the Republic self-destruct. The Empire might last another year or another decade, but eventually there’s going to be a brand-new order and brand-new law. Who will you serve then?”

“Everybody is a terrorist,
till you see the reformist
(The Sonnet)

Everybody is a president,
till you see the first servant.
Everybody is king kong,
till emerges the first sapiens.

Everybody is marconi,
till you meet the Nikola.
Everybody is prime minister,
till you see the transformer.

Everybody is mercenary,
till you see the tsunami.
Everybody is a godman,
till awakens commoner godly.

Everybody is police,
till comes the vessel of peace.
Everybody is a terrorist,
till you see the reformist.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
