In a democracy -- even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-elitist one -- the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law. - Nadine Gordimer
