I swear..legal theory was put on this Earth as a way of spinning the law student around and asking him to walk in a straight line, whereby even then the straight line is never that clear. Anyhow, came across this line (haha so many 'lines') by Foucault :

'Discourse is not life: its time is not your time; in it, you will not be reconciled to death; you may have killed God beneath the weight of all that you have said; but don't imagine that, with all that you are saying, you will make a man that will live longer than he.'
