Quotes about Skin

I never much liked the concept of inflexible structure in a system.  It always made my skin crawl.  I always felt like it suggested the ommittance of something rather important.
I've finaly realized that the missing "something" is the basis for all existence.

We need a legal code that develops like our skin during our growing years.  Something both youthful and strong... So what we humans birth might surpass without oppressing us.
