Anarchy Quote by Kurt Sutter
“The great thing about having a serialized drama (like 'Sons of Anarchy') is that I'm allowed to bring up events and circumstances that have happened in the past in other episodes to show that this kind of violence doesn't happen in a vacuum. It has ramifications. It has repercussions. Whether it's a week from now or five years from now, you know it will play out. Nothing is ever tied up into a perfect knot.”

![“I've always wanted to play with this idea - and I didn't want to leave it to the last season, but I wasn't quite sure when it was going to happen - of putting Jax [sons of Anarchy] at the head of the table and the ripple effect on the guys and the loyalties of it and where people land.” quote by Kurt Sutter](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/59c/kurt-sutter-12447_anarchy_i-ve-always-wanted-to-play-with-this-ide_1847712.jpg)
