"All laws which can be violated without doing anyone any injury are laughed at.
Nay, so far are they from doing anything to control the desires and passion of man that,
on the contrary, they direct and incite men's thoughts toward those very objects; for we
always strive toward what is forbidden and desire the things we are not allowed to have.
And men of leisure are never deficient in the ingenuity needed to enable them to outwit
laws framed to regulate things which cannot be entirely forbidden.... He who tries to
determine everything by law will foment crime rather than lessen it."
Spinoza
