...each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden - forbidden for him. It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet.

    ... 우리 각자는 무엇을 허용하고 무엇을 금지하는지 스스로 알아 내야합니다. 하나의 법칙을 결코 범하지 않고 여전히 놈일 수 있습니다. 그 반대. 사실 그것은 단지 편리함의 문제 일뿐입니다. 너무 게으르고 편안해서 스스로 생각하고 자신의 판사가되는 사람들은 법을 따릅니다. 다른 사람들은 그들 자신의 법칙에 따라 모든 명예로운 사람이 연중 언제든지 할 일이 금지되어 있고 일반적으로 경멸받는 사람들에게 다른 일이 허용된다는 것을 느낍니다. 각 사람은 자신의 발에서야합니다.
