Simone de Beauvoir
“One of the benefits that oppression secures for the oppressor is that the humblest among them feels superior.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

George Orwell
“In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by ‘thou shalt not’, the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by ‘love’ or ‘reason’, he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.”
George Orwell, Politics vs Literature

“Law reflects but in no sense determines the moral worth of a society. The values of a reasonably just society will reflect themselves in a reasonably just law. The better the society, the less law there will be. In heaven there will be no law, and the lion shall lie down with the lamb. The values of an unjust society will reflect themselves in an unjust law. The worse the society, the more law there will be. In hell there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observed.”
Grant Gilmore, The Ages of American Law

Brit Bennett
“The only difference between lying and acting was whether your audience was in on it, but it was all a performance just the same.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Delia Owens
“Kya laid her hand upon the breathing, wet earth, and the marsh became her mother.”
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
