"The point of learning the musical scales is not to engage in mindless repetition; the point is to prepare to make beautiful music. A piano teacher who taught only the scales would be a legalistic simpleton. But a piano teacher who neglected to teach these rudiments would be unworthy of the name teacher. Musical order cannot begin solely with human spontaneity and creative improvisation. And the same is true in the domain of moral action. Anyone who set up an opposition between law and freedom, and then takes the side of freedom, not only underestimates the need for law but also misrepresents the nature of freedom." - Russell Hittinger
