Patricia Highsmith Quote
The law was not society, it began. Society was people like himself and Owen and Brillhart, who hadn't the right to take the life of another member of society. And yet the law did. And yet the law is supposed to be the will of society at least. It isn't even that. Or maybe it is collectively, he added, aware that as always he was doubling back before he come to a point, making things as complex as possible in trying to make them certain.
