They Make Rules

        They make rules that they call laws, and they call sin anything that scares them in other people. That's the truth, brother !  If they didn't shake in their boots, if they were real men, they'd have no need for police forces and law courts, for preachers and churches, no need for banks, for life-insurance, for Sunday schools and red and green lights at the street corners.

Red Lights
Georges Simenon
1953
