“I am a law student in my first year at the law, and there are many moments when I am simply a mess.”

“with a singlemindedness common only to former Soviet interior-ministry troops and first-year law students”

“I AM THE LAW!”

“I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.”

“I do not understand what I do....It is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me...For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing...I find this law at work: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me...I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin...I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.”

“I am one of those who are made for exceptions, not for laws.”
