“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”

“Chicago is not the most corrupt of cities. The state of New Jersey has a couple. Need we mention Nevada? Chicago, though, is the Big Daddy. Not more corrupt, just more theatrical, more colorful in its shadiness.”

“Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.”

“...when the laws have ceased to be executed, as this can only come from the corruption of the republic, the state is already lost.”

“Law itself is either suspended, or regarded as an instrument that the state may use in the service of constraining and monitoring a given population; the state is not subject to the rule of law, but law can be suspended or deployed tactically and partially to suit the requirements of a state that seeks more and more to allocate sovereign power to its executive and administrative powers. The law is suspended in the name of "sovereignty" of the nation, where "sovereignty" denotes the task of any state to preserve and protect its own territoriality.”

“Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.”
