More From George Orwell

Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is nozick's definition of revenge. and in that sense, adi is exacting revenge. when people ask, "does adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. but in nozick's formulation, it is revenge. that is the essence of revenge.

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.it is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. violence is any day preferable to impotence. there is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. there is no such hope for the impotent.

I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline. so i would not be for corporal punishment in the school, but i would be for very strong discipline at home so we don't place an unfair burden on our teachers.

The president of the united states would be liable to be impeached, tried, and upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law. the person of the king of great britain is sacred and inviolable: there is no constitutional tribunal to which he is amenable, no punishment to which he can be subjected without involving the crisis of a national revolution.

It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under christ, and all others but subordinate to them. if that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.
