ALFREDO CENTAURI
Justice is a scalpel.
It cuts through skin and flesh and bone to get at the heart of the truth.

No. Justice is a dagger.
It knows nothing of anatomy.
It plunges at random into the body.
It knows only that the heart is somewhere inside.

No. Justice is the heart.
It knows nothing.
Only a feeling when the truth is near.

And the truth is a dagger.
