Quote from Georges Bernanos,


"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."
