Quotes About Dike

But the brilliance, the versatility of madness is akin to the resourcefulness of water seeping through, over, and around a dike.

It was told of her{276} that she had already withdrawn into the mountains when mankind ceased to heed dike—which in our language means not only just retribution, but also justice generally. When still worse things thereupon followed, Dike forsook the earth, and can be seen in the sky as the constellation Virgo.
