Fernando Pessoa

Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

H.L.A. Hart
“So long as human beings can gain sufficient co-operation from some to enable them to dominate others, they will use the forms of law as one of their instruments. Wicked men will enact wicked rules which others will enforce.

H.L.A. Hart, The Concept of Law

Daphne du Maurier
“I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six dressed in black satin with a string of pearls.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
