The violations of these diesel motors by our company go against everything that Volkswagen stands for... at this time, I don't yet have the answers to all the questions.

Poetry, whatever the manifest content of the poem, is always a violation of the rationalism and morality of bourgeois society.

The kinds of roles dogs fill can be hard to come by in human relationships. We touch the dog or the pet at whim.

It's a boundary violation.

On April 14, 1986, when the Reagan administration launched an airstrike on Libya in clear violation of international law, Kissinger did the rounds on news shows to justify the bombing.

As a 7-year-old child, I saw the Wall being erected.

All the good work in the world will not compensate for the damage that a single facet of the business, or a rogue individual, can do. Insider trading, environmental damage, human-rights violations, and opportunistic practices erode trust and result in net negative impact.

I have heard over and over again that the drilling business is a dangerous business, and death is an expected part of the game, but I've also heard of the way that safety violations, human and environmental laws, and a concern for the local culture are flaunted in pursuit of money.

In a way, the world?view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it.
