“All of our punishment institutions, including jails, laws, church confessionals, and so forth, are systems of illusion. The order of the universe, the infinite justice of yin and yang, naturally takes care of all motion and compensation. We don't need to invent arbitrary ways to make balance with punishments.”

“(We said), "O David, We have made you a ruler upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow (your own) desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of God." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of God will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.”
— Qur'an 38:26
“Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind.”
