Human Laws Quotes

“I ask: which of the two, civil or natural life, is more likely to become insufferable to those who live it?

― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Basic Political Writings

“Thus Blackstone is right when he says, "Human laws are invalid, because they are contrary to the laws of nature.”
― Emma Goldman, Anarchism and Other Essays

“A license is what you get,
when the government steals your rights away from you,
and then sells them back.”
― Mark Edge
