Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. -William Pitt the Younger, 1783
"And with necessity, / The tyrant's plea, / excus'd his devilish deeds" -John Milton, Paradise Lost
"Necessity is the mother of invention." -Latin/English proverb
