Is there a quote about might and creative work?
Yes, one states firmly that art should never be a servant to raw power, arguing creative work shouldn't be a tool of force or authority.
Do any of these quotes touch on legislation or policy?
One acknowledges that a piece of legislation, however well-intentioned it might be, still suffers from real flaws, using 'might' as a hedge before a criticism.
