Once you are a proper, serious law-maker, you can't break the laws you're writing.

What I write, I write. I'll always do it in some form.

Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.

I do not pretend to write much of a letter. You know under what circumstances I am writing.

And sometimes you have to go above the written law, I believe.

It is not our job to apply laws that have not yet been written.

When I write legally, I try to write very plain, very vanilla, very clear.

Write what you think is good, is the whole of the law.
