We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged - Heinrich Heine

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.

Where books are burned, in the end people will be burned too.
( — 1823; Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.)

Ahí donde se queman libros, acabarán quemando personas
