  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
    Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
    Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
    Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
    Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
    And that you sit as kings in your desires,
    Authority quite silent by your brawl,
    And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
    What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
    How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
    How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
    Not one of you should live an aged man,
    For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
    With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
    Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
    Would feed on one another.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 55ff (c. 1592)

  5. A quotation from Thoreau

    If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth, — certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Essay (1849-05), “Resistance to Civil Government [On the Duty of Civil Disobedience],” Æsthetic Papers, No. 1, Article 10

  9. "And I lost my taste for judging right and wrong..."

    Perhaps a slightly loose interpretation of the #BreakingtheLaw theme, but I just love using werewolves as a metaphor for teenage rebellion and coming of age.

    Suspect this may my most frequently posted song for this hashtag!

    Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name.

    I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
    Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
    'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole
    The sands of time for me are running low
