Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities ... are the greatest cozenage that men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretences to break known rules by.
OLIVER CROMWELL, speech to Parliament, Sept. 12, 1654
We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything.
WILLIAM GOLDING, Lord of the Flies
Even in killing men, observe the rules of propriety.
CONFUCIUS, The Wisdom of Confucius
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
KATHARINE HEPBURN, Susan Crimp's Katharine Hepburn Once Said...
Necessity knows no rules.
AUGUST STRINDBERG, Miss Julie
Rules should always be bent, if not broken. It's the only way to have any fun.
Rules are for old men who prefer to walk in the wheel ruts of history.
BRIAN HERBERT & KEVEN J. ANDERSON, Dune: House Corrino
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
