Manhattan is your punisher, let me be you shield. Ray Bradbury

I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you. You have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour. J. K. Rowling
Voltaire quote: "God has punished the knave, and the devil has drowned the rest."
God has punished the knave, and the devil has drowned the rest. Voltaire

We are all brothers, and yet I live by receiving a salary for arraigning, judging and punishing a thief or a prostitute, whose existence is conditioned by the whole consumption of my life. Leo Tolstoy
