From "The Oxford Book of Aphorisms"
The sense of liberty is a message read between the lines of constraint. Real liberty is as transparent, as odourless and tasteless, as water.Michael Frayn, Constructions, 1974
Laws always are a constraint on the lives of its subjects. Liberty is freedom from law. Can a nation set at liberty its own citizens? Only with faith in the nature of man; in lawlessness, imperfections in the citizenry are not restrained.
