Georges Bernanos Quote

"Justice in the hands of the powerful is
merely a governing system like any other.
Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice,
but of a sly effective order, based entirely on
cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak,
their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery."
