“What is the argument on the other side? Only
this, that no case has been found in which it
has been done before. That argument does not
appeal to me in the least. If we never do
anything which has not been done before, we
shall never get anywhere. The law will stand
still whilst the rest of the world goes on; and
that will be bad for both.”
