Quote by Robert Bolt

The law is not a light for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.

The law is not a light for you or any man to see by; the law

Summary

This quote suggests that the law should not be seen as a tool or a means to an end, but rather as a path that provides safety for citizens. It argues that the law is not meant to guide individuals or help them achieve personal goals, but rather to establish a framework of rules and regulations that ensure human security and order. By adhering to the law, individuals can navigate society without fear, knowing they are protected within its boundaries.

I remember being at Greenblatt's on Sunset, and some guy just walked straight up to me, and he had some bling on and whatever, and said something about a party down in Malibu and asked if I would jump in his car and go to the party.

Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago.
