Cannon: An instrument used in the rectification of national boundaries. -- Ambrose Bierce
Divorce: a resumption of diplomatic relations and rectification of boundaries. -- Ambrose Bierce
Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectification of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid. -- Gaston Bachelard
My books may highlight corruption, brutality and venality, but they also show that if these things come to light, there is rectification. The voiceless do have a voice; democratic mechanisms and accountability do exist. -- Vikas Swarup
Earthly providence is a travesty of justice on any other theory than that it is a preliminary stage, which is to be followed by rectifications. Either there must be a future, or consummate injustice sits upon the throne of the universe. This is the verdict of humanity in all the ages. -- Randolph Sinks Foster
Most people willingly deceive themselves with a doubly false faith; they believe in eternal memory (of men, things, deeds, peoples) and in rectification (of deeds, errors, sins, injustice). Both are sham. The truth lies at the opposite end of the scale: everything will be forgotten and nothing will be rectified. All rectification (both vengeance and forgiveness) will be taken over by oblivion. -- Milan Kundera
