“One who has a deaden conscience can never live within the confinements of the law.”
Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father

Russell M. Nelson
“Theistic forces, be they Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or Mormon, teach that there is an absolute right and wrong. Theistic forces have an ethic that reveres the righteous judgments of a loving God and obeys civil and divine law voluntarily. The theistic mind-set instills a conscience to do what is right and obey laws that might be otherwise unenforceable. With such a commitment, you obey a red stop light, even if no other traffic is in sight. As a God-fearing person, you know that even if the police didn’t catch you if you were to steal, murder, or commit adultery, these acts are wrong, and God will ultimately hold you accountable. You know, just as your ancestors knew, that the consequences for not playing by the rules are not only temporal, but also eternal. These theistic forces were part of the shaping of America. From the Book of Mormon, we have learned that this is a “land of promise, . . . choice above all other lands, which the Lord God had preserved for a righteous people.”
Russell M. Nelson, Accomplishing the Impossible: What God Does, What We Can Do

Vincent Okay Nwachukwu
“Those committed to committing offenses should be fenced off. Any attempt to condense the consequences of their immense offense is a crime against the law abiding.”
Vincent Okay Nwachukwu, Weighty 'n' Worthy African Proverbs - Volume 1

Édouard Levé
“I do not fight. I have never punched anyone.

I have stolen books once and once some paperclips, without really knowing why.

I almost killed three passengers in my car by looking for a cassette in the glove compartment while I was going one-eighty on the highway. I wanted to write a book entitled 'In the car', made up of remarks recorded while driving.

I have never filed a complaint with the police.”
Édouard Levé, Autoportrait

“I'm Above The Law (The Sonnet)

Yes, I am above the law,
So is every single world builder.
It's only the apes without brain who,
Are tamed by the medieval lawmaker.
If you are to be a civilized being,
It is your duty to rise above the law.
If you can't tell right from wrong,
It is common sense you lack, not law.
It is nothing but a juvenile democracy,
That is founded on spineless law-abidance.
Civilized democracy instills accountability,
What it doesn't demand is boneheaded obedience.
You have a heart, brain and spine, why not use them!
Stand up o citizen justice, and keep the law as servant.”
Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“When is the Denver Police Department going to start prosecuting Denver based fraudulent Frontier Airlines and its toxic employees for its illegal activities it blatantly engages in with law abiding passengers?”
Steven Magee

Abhijit Naskar
“Dump all autocratic nonsense of law-abidance,
Tell the right from wrong by conscience rule.
If you want human rights to reign supreme,
Wake up and be the world leader of your hood.”
Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
