Quote by William Shakespeare

The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers.

The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers.

Summary

This quote, famously derived from Shakespeare's Henry VI, reflects a deep-seated distrust society often holds towards lawyers. The line is spoken by a character who aims to disrupt the social order and chaos. However, when taken out of context, the quote perpetuates a negative stereotype against legal professionals. It underscores the perception that lawyers are manipulative and obstructive, dismissing their crucial role as advocates for justice and defenders of the law. Ultimately, this quote reminds us to question our biases and not to dismiss an entire profession based on a few negative perceptions.

If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?

(...) perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren't also dangerous, just because reading them didn't make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain.

Each memory was brought to life before me and within me. I could not avoid them. Neither could I rationalize, explain away. I could only re-experience with total cognizance, unprotected by pretense. Self delusion was impossible, truth exposed in this blinding light. Nothing as I thought it had been. Nothing as I hoped it had been. Only as it had been.
