Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.

My love is my weight. Because of it, I move.

The entire most beautiful order of things that are very good, when their measures have been accomplished, is to pass away.

Unjust laws aren't laws at all.

I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake.

The good man, though a slave, is free; the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.

Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
