Law Breakers and Unwritten Rules

What really binds a community, what really tells people that they are members of the same group is not their knowing what laws to follow but their knowing what laws to break. Attachment to community comes about through identification with the suspension or transgression of the law.
- Slavoj Zizek, "Metastases of Enjoyment"
