O time, arrest your flight! and you, propitious hours, arrest your course! Let us savor the fleeting delights of our most beautiful days!

The Lake, st. 6 (1820)Alphonse de Lamartine
» Alphonse de Lamartine - all quotes »
Values in a free society are accepted voluntarily, not through coercion, and certainly not by law... every time we write a law to control private behavior, we imply that somebody has to arrive with a gun, because if you desecrate the flag, you have to punish that person. So how do you do that? You send an agent of the government, perhaps an employee of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Flags, to arrest him. This is in many ways patriotism with a gun – if your actions do not fit the official definition of a "patriot," we will send somebody to arrest you.
Ron Paul
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Now the law of nonviolence says that violence should be resisted not by counter-violence but by nonviolence. This I do by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment.
Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi
All people look better under arrest.
John Waters
Well, then, arrest him. You can accuse him of something or other afterward.
Isaac Asimov
What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.
