Its supporters attempt to disguise its essential character by claiming that democratic procedures give it legitimacy, but this justification is specious.

Sherwood Boehlert

I certainly don't know if you could claim that every theft is wrong, but I'll prove to you that every theft is forbidden, by simply locking you up.

Karel Capek

And like most middle-aged people who hear the clock ticking in their lives, I had come to resent a waste or theft of my time that was greater than any theft of my goods or money.
