[lbo-talk] Re: Anatole France quote

[Laurence Shute]

[Brings to mind the Anatole France quote: "The law, in
its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the
poor from sleeping under bridges and urinating in
public."]

Anatole France (pseudonym of Anatole-Francois Thibaut) wrote that the poor 
"must labor in the face of the majestic equality of the laws, which forbids 
the rich as well as the poor to sleep under the bridges, to beg in the 
streets, and to steal bread."  In _Le Lys Rouge_ (1894), chap. 7.
