Kalau orang sudah mulai membakar buku-buku, akhirnya mereka akan membakar manusia. - Heinrich Heine

And yonder sits a maiden, The fairest of the fair, With gold in her garment glittering, And she combs her golden hair.

The fundamental evil of the world arose from the fact that the good Lord has not created money enough.

What an awful book the Corpus Juris is, this Bible of selfishness! I've always found the Roman code as detestable as the Romans themselves. These robbers want to safeguard their swag, and they seek to protect by law what they have plundered with the sword; hence the robber became a combination of the most odious kind, soldier and lawyer in one. Truly, we owe the theory of property, which was formerly a fact only, to these Roman thieves; and the much vaunted Roman Law on which all our present-day legislations and state institutions are based is nothing but the development of this theory in all its pernicious implications, in spite of the fact that this Law is diametrically opposed to religion, morals, common humanity and reason.
