'We can crush and kill people in the name of law or we can let people destroy themselves and others through the absence of law. There are laws inscribed in nature, which every doctor and psychologist knows well. There are also the laws of society. Law is, or should be, there to help people, every person, to journey to a fullness of life and to be truly free; free from prejudice and fear, free from a paralyzing selfishness, free to love and be compassionate, free to struggle for justice.'
- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, p. 171
