Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Song lyrics, Paul Simon (1972)
“Society today is no longer in revolt against particular laws which it finds alien, unjust, and imposed, but against law as such, against the principle of law. And yet we must not regard this revolt as entirely negative. The energy that rejects many obsolete laws is an entirely positive impulse for renewal of life and law.”
"No Religion is an Island", p. 264
