Franz Kafka
Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live. Where was the judge he had never seen? Where was the High Court he had never reached? He raised his hands and spread out all his fingers. But the hands of one of the men closed round his throat, just as the other drove the knife deep into his heart and turned it twice.
Franz Kafka, The Trial

Francis A. Schaeffer
No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions.
Francis A. Schaeffer, How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
