Quote by Anatole France

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor, to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets and to steal bread.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well

Summary

This quote by Anatole France sarcastically highlights the inequity and inherent bias within the law. It points out that the law may claim to treat everyone equally, but in reality, it fails to address the underlying disparities in society. By emphasizing that both the rich and the poor are equally forbidden from engaging in certain acts of desperation, the quote sheds light on the irony and unfairness of a system that upholds equality in theory, but not in practice.

Wo wei ni xie de, he said, as he raised the violin to his left shoulder, tucking it under his chin. He had told her many violinists used a shoulder rest, but he did not: there was a slight mark on the side of his throat, like a permanent bruise, where the violin rested. You made something for me? Tessa asked.I wrote something for you, he corrected, with a smile, and began to play.
