Additional quotes by Novalis

A criminal cannot complain about wrongs done him because one treats him harshly and inhumanely. His offense was an entry into the realm of violence, power and tyranny. There is no restraint and proportion in that realm,
and therefore he should not be surprised at the disproportion of its counter-reaction.
