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.

I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents. Which is why I like things like cuts and bruises - they're like little flowers. I've always said that if you have a name for something, like 'cut' or 'bruise,' people will automatically be disturbed by it. But when you see the same thing in nature, and you don't know what it is, it can be very beautiful.
