“…but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.” (paragraph 6)
“Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine… As for adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying the evil, I know not of such ways.” (paragraphs 6-7)
“I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.” (paragraph 7)

“As for adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying this evil, I know not of such ways.” (Paragraph 7)
