Crime quotes by Enrique Pena Nieto

Crime quotes by Michelle Alexander
#4. The growing consensus among experts was perhaps best reflected by the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, which issued a recommendation in 1973 that "no new institutions for adults should be built and existing institutions for juveniles should be closed."17 This recommendation was based on their finding that "the prison, the reformatory and the jail have achieved only a shocking record of failure. There is overwhelming evidence that these institutions create crime rather than prevent it. #Quote by Michelle Alexander
Crime quotes by Oscar Wilde
#5. For what are called criminals nowadays are not criminals at all. Starvation, and not sin, is the parent of modern crime. That indeed is the reason why our criminals are, as a class, so absolutely uninteresting from any psychological point of view. They are not marvellous Macbeths and terrible Vautrins. They are merely what ordinary, respectable, commonplace people would be if they had not got enough to eat. #Quote by Oscar Wilde
Crime quotes by Darrel Ray
#6. Throughout adolescence, Muslim men receive strong messages about male dominance in Marriage. The Koran is highly male-focused, with women being of little importance. Mohammed married as many women as he wanted, even a nine-year-old girl. Polygamy was acceptable and women were given in marriage with little consideration. Rules and punishments for women are far harsher than for men. [ ... ] Women are told that their purpose is to please the man and have children. Men are taught that sex with an in infidel woman, especially in another country, is not a sin against Allah. For a Muslim woman, sex with any man except her husband is a crime. #Quote by Darrel Ray
Crime quotes by Sophie Hannah
#7. Everything is personal - the poems and the crime novels. I have never been involved in any murders, but there are strong autobiographical elements in each. #Quote by Sophie Hannah
Crime quotes by Nujood Ali
#8. Nujood's rebellion, honorable in our eyes, is moreover considered by conservatives as an outrageous affront, punishable, according to extremist, by a murderous "honor crime.". #Quote by Nujood Ali
Crime quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
#9. One of the most dangerous classes in the world," said he, "is the drifting and friendless woman. She is the most harmless and often the most useful of mortals, but she is the inevitable inciter of crime in others. She is helpless. She is migratory. She has sufficient means to take her from country to country and from hotel to hotel. She is lost, as often as not, in a maze of obscure pensions and boardinghouses. She is a stray chicken in a world of foxes. When she is gobbled up she is hardly missed. #Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
#10. Five years ago your brother Lymond was found to have been selling his own country for years: he's been kicked from land to land committing every crime on the calendar and now he's back here, God forgive him, with filthier habits and a nastier mind than he set out with. #Quote by Dorothy Dunnett
Crime quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
#11. I know of no crime that has not been defended by the church, in one form or other. The church is not a pioneer; it accepts a new truth, last of all, and only when denial has become useless. #Quote by Robert Green Ingersoll
Crime quotes by Cathy O'Neil
#12. Thanks in part to the resulting high score on the evaluation, he gets a longer sentence, locking him away for more years in a prison where he's surrounded by fellow criminals - which raises the likelihood that he'll return to prison. He is finally released into the same poor neighborhood, this time with a criminal record, which makes it that much harder to find a job. If he commits another crime, the recidivism model can claim another success. But in fact the model itself contributes to a toxic cycle and helps to sustain it. That's a signature quality of a WMD. #Quote by Cathy O'Neil
Crime quotes by Sarah Bessey
#13. One needn't identify as a feminist to participate in the redemptive movement of God for women in the world, The gospel is more than enough. Of course it is! But as long as I know how important maternal health is to Haiti's future, and as long as I know that women are being abused and raped, as long as I know girls are being denied life itself through selective abortion, abandonment, and abuse, as long as brave little girls in Afghanistan are attacked with acid for the crime of going to school, and until being a Christian is synonymous with doing something about these things, you can also call me a feminist. #Quote by Sarah Bessey
Crime quotes by B.V. Lawson
#14. He wore his personality like a suit that was too tight. #Quote by B.V. Lawson
Crime quotes by Alex Gerlis
#15. Don't worry. It is not a crime to love the wrong person. Most people manage it at least once in their lives. #Quote by Alex Gerlis
Crime quotes by Ron Paul
#16. There is no such thing as a hate crime. #Quote by Ron Paul
Crime quotes by S.J. Wardell
#17. Everything begins with chioce. #Quote by S.J. Wardell
Crime quotes by Carol M. Tanzman
#18. Just making sure you know I got home. Two hours ago. when I beeped the first time.

Clearly, I am not cut out for a life of crime. #Quote by Carol M. Tanzman
Crime quotes by Richard House
#19. When I started writing the third book, 'The Kill,' the intention was just to write a thriller, a crime novel for myself, really, in which there would be no body, no solution - where you would look at an event from different people's perspectives. #Quote by Richard House
Crime quotes by Plato
#20. When there is crime in society, there is no justice. #Quote by Plato
Crime quotes by Kristen Ashley

Crime quotes by Cliff Stearns
#22. Since 1994, unemployment rates are lower. Median household income is higher. A greater percentage of Americans are graduating from college. Home ownership rates are higher. And the violent crime rate has decreased. #Quote by Cliff Stearns
Crime quotes by Sanjida Kay
#23. The dark edge of the moor and the Cow and Calf rock are crisp against the blue-black sky. I can't see anyone outside, watching us. As I shut the door behind me, I hear a noise. It came from the hall. I feel the hairs rise on the back of my neck. #Quote by Sanjida Kay
Crime quotes by J.K. Rowling
#24. When Filch wasn't guarding the scene of the crime, he was skulking red-eyed through the corridors, lunging out at unsuspecting students and trying to put them in detention for things like "breathing loudly" and "looking happy. #Quote by J.K. Rowling
Crime quotes by Oscar Wilde
#25. As one reads history, not in the expurgated editions written for schoolboys and passmen, but in the original authorities of each time, one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime. #Quote by Oscar Wilde
Crime quotes by Sara Farizan
#26. I'm on the curvy side, which has somehow become a crime. #Quote by Sara Farizan
Crime quotes by Samuel Johnson
#27. Many a man is mad in certain instances, and goes through life without having it perceived. For example, a madness has seized a person of supposing himself obliged literally to pray continually; had the madness turned the opposite way, and the person thought it a crime ever to pray, it might not improbably have continued unobserved. #Quote by Samuel Johnson
Crime quotes by Roger Morris
#28. Growing up in the Midwest, I was very close to my maternal grandmother, who, as a young widow running a small business in 1920s Kansas City, had known firsthand the old Pendergast regime and its classic combine of politics and organized crime. #Quote by Roger Morris
Crime quotes by Graham Greene
#29. She had so much more capacity for love than I had - I couldn't bring down that curtain round the moment, I couldn't forget and I couldn't not fear. Even in the moment of love, I was like a police officer gathering evidence of a crime that hadn't yet been committed [ ... ] #Quote by Graham Greene
Crime quotes by Hannah Arendt
#30. In the eyes of the Jews, thinking exclusively in terms of their own history, the catastrophe that had befallen them under Hitler, in which a third of the people perished, appeared not as the most recent of crimes, the unprecedented crime of genocide, but, on the contrary, as the oldest crime they knew and remembered. #Quote by Hannah Arendt
Crime quotes by Ronald Carter
#31. THE METAPHYSICAL POETS

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime

(Andrew Marvell, To His Coy Mistress)

While theatre was the most public literary form of the period, poetry tended to be more personal, more private. Indeed, it was often published for only a limited circle of readers. This was true of Shakespeare's sonnets, as we have seen, and even more so for the Metaphysical poets, whose works were published mostly after their deaths. John Donne and George Herbert are the most significant of these poets.
The term 'Metaphysical' was used to describe their work by the eighteenth-century critic, Samuel Johnson. He intended the adjective to be pejorative. He attacked the poets' lack of feeling, their learning, and the surprising range of images and comparisons they used. Donne and Herbert were certainly very innovative poets, but the term 'Metaphysical' is only a label, which is now used to describe the modern impact of their writing. After three centuries of neglect and disdain, the Metaphysical poets have come to be very highly regarded and have been influential in recent British poetry and criticism. They used contemporary scientific discoveries and theories, the topical debates on humanism, faith, and eternity, colloquial speech-based rhythms, and innovative verse forms, to examine the relationship between the individual, his God, and the universe. Their 'conceits', metaphors and images, paradoxes and inte #Quote by Ronald Carter
Crime quotes by Edward Humes
#32. Is it always in the interest of the public safety to seek the prosecutor's traditional solution
the harshest penalty possible? Or is the public best served by finding ways to change a kid's lot in life for the better, even if that means opening the prison door? #Quote by Edward Humes
Crime quotes by Charles Dickens
#33. If a man would commit an inexpiable offence against any society, large or small, let him be successful. They will forgive any crime except that. #Quote by Charles Dickens
Crime quotes by Gary  Haynes
#34. The old man walked over to his sandalwood bookshelves. He couldn't decide whether to read Balzac or Voltaire. Clotilde de Lusignan or Micromégas. His forefinger hovered over both the hardback books before he plumped instead for the eroticism of Goethe's Roman Elegies. The old man had amassed a lifetime of learning. The killings aside, he led an oddly monastic life. #Quote by Gary Haynes
Crime quotes by Agatha Christie
#35. The Agatha Christie Collection Christie Crime Classics The Man in the Brown Suit The Secret of Chimneys The Seven Dials Mystery The Mysterious Mr Quin The Sittaford #Quote by Agatha Christie
Crime quotes by Tupac Shakur
#36. I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable. #Quote by Tupac Shakur
Crime quotes by Sebastian Junger
#37. The story about Bessie Goldberg that I heard from my parents was that a nice old lady had been killed down the street and an innocent black man went to prison for the crime. Meanwhile
unknown to anyone
a violent psychopath named Al was working alone at our house all day and probably committed the murder. In our family this story eventually acquired the tidy symbolism of a folk tale. Roy Smith was a stand-in for everything that was decent but utterly defenseless. Albert DeSalvo, of course, was a stand-in for pure random evil. #Quote by Sebastian Junger
Crime quotes by Rachel Caine
#38. I paused in the act of opening the door and looked at him with what were probably cartoon-wide eyes. "Wait a second," I said. "So, you're best friends with a hot vampire chick who likes leather."
"Yeah."
"And together, you fight crime?" I couldn't help it. I cracked up. #Quote by Rachel Caine
Crime quotes by David Edelstein
#39. You can feel righteous fury in every frame of The Magdalene Sisters. The movie is both a masterpiece and a holy hell: Watching it, you feel you're being punished for a crime you didn't commit. Which puts you, come to think of it, in the same frame of mind as those poor Magdalene girls. #Quote by David Edelstein
Crime quotes by Bella Bancroft
#40. You know on crime shows where they put a sample in a machine, push a button, and it magics them up a description of what it is?"
"Ahh yes. I'm familiar"
"Like that, but with less magic" Amy squinted, blinked, and shook her head at the screen. "I take it back; this one might actually contain magic #Quote by Bella Bancroft
Crime quotes by Jim McGrath
#41. What he lacks in intelligence he makes up for with ego. #Quote by Jim McGrath
Crime quotes by George Orwell
#42. The violation of the inner person is the greatest territorial crime of all. #Quote by George Orwell
Crime quotes by Chanel Miller
#43. What was unique about this crime, was that the perpetrator could suggest the victim experienced pleasure and people wouldn't bat an eye. There's no such thing as a good stabbing or bad stabbing, consensual murder or nonconsensual murder. #Quote by Chanel Miller
Crime quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
#44. The idea that a prisoner would confess to a complete stranger that he had committed a crime - I just didn't buy that. #Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
Crime quotes by Ludivine Sagnier
#45. You know, the character of Isabelle in 'Love Crime' is the only character I feel the furthest from. I have nothing to share with her, so it was really difficult. Being an actor of composition is something, but you always base yourself on something you know about. #Quote by Ludivine Sagnier
Crime quotes by John Le Carre
#46. The greatest crime is to do nothing because we can only do a little ( ... ) I feel nothing, because feeling is subversive and contrary to military discipline. Therefore I do not feel, but I fight and therefore I exist. (part I, chapter 10) #Quote by John Le Carre
Crime quotes by Pamela Clare
#47. You broke the Man Code, dude. 'No man shall knowingly and with malice aforethought kick another man in the nuts.'"
"Okay, so I kicked him in the nuts. The little fucker was fleeing the scene of a crime where he'd pointed a weapon at my buddies."
[from short story "Beer Run" at the end of Skin Deep] #Quote by Pamela Clare
Crime quotes by J.D. Robb
#48. We're standing here, beat to shit, walking away from a crime scene where either or both of us could have bought it, and you're asking me to marry you?"
"Perfect timing. #Quote by J.D. Robb
Crime quotes by Jimmy Dore
#49. and the reason why it took them so long to impeach him... or to start an impeachment trial, is because they had to find a crime that Trump committed that they were not also complicit in. #Quote by Jimmy Dore
Crime quotes by William J. Brennan
#50. While the machinery of law enforcement and indeed the nature of crime itself have changed dramatically since the Fourth Amendment became part of the Nation's fundamental law in 1791, what the Framers understood then remains true today - that the task of combating crime and convicting the guilty will in every era seem of such critical and pressing concern that we may be lured by the temptations of expediency into forsaking our commitment to protecting individual liberty and privacy. #Quote by William J. Brennan
Crime quotes by David Warner
#51. To tell an ally - who is shedding blood next to you - that you can't share information is a crime. #Quote by David Warner
Crime quotes by B.V. Lawson
#52. The M.E. dissected pieces of a corpse to tell a story, while Drayco tried to bring them back from the dead, jagged piece by jagged piece. #Quote by B.V. Lawson
Crime quotes by Megan Fox
#53. Real crime-beat investigative journalism does seem to be really dwindling, especially in this age with everything being centered around iPhones. Everyone's a journalist today, essentially. Every pedestrian on the street has the potential of capturing a big story on their mobile device and then selling it and making a lot of money. #Quote by Megan Fox
Crime quotes by Immanuel Kant
#54. Every man is to be respected as an absolute end in himself; and it is a crime against the dignity that belongs to him as a human being, to use him as a mere means for some external purpose. #Quote by Immanuel Kant
Crime quotes by T. S. Eliot
#55. It's harder to confess the sin that no one believes in Than the crime that everyone can appreciate. For the crime is in relation to the law And the sin is in relation to the sinner. #Quote by T. S. Eliot
Crime quotes by Donald Jeffries
#56. Questions surround nearly every aspect of the assassination. The chain
of possession regarding each piece of evidence was tainted beyond repair.
The presidential limousine, which represented the literal crime scene,
was taken over by officials immediately after JFK's body was carried into
Parkland Hospital and tampered with. The Secret Service apparently cleaned
up the limousine, washing away crucial evidence in the process. Obviously,
whatever bullet fragments or other material that was purportedly found
there became immediately suspect because of this. On November 26, the
windshield on the presidential limo was replaced.
The supposed murder weapon - a cheap, Italian Mannlicher-Carcano
rifle with a defective scope, allegedly ordered by Oswald through a post office
box registered to his purported alias, Alex Hidell - is similarly troublesome.
The two Dallas officers who discovered the rifle on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building, Seymour Weitzman and Eugene Boone,
both swore in separate affidavits that the weapon was a German Mauser. As
was to become all too common in this case, they would later each claim to be
"mistaken" in a curiously identical manner.
In fact, as late as midnight on November 22, Dallas District Attorney
Henry Wade would refer to the rifle as a Mauser when speaking to the press.
Local WFAA television reported the weapon found as both a German #Quote by Donald Jeffries
Crime quotes by John Grisham
#57. With murder, the victim is gone, and not forced to deal with what happened to her. The family must deal with it, but not the victim. But rape is much worse. The victim has a lifetime of coping, trying to understand, of asking questions, and the worst part, of knowing the rapist is still alive and may someday escape or be released. Every hour of every day, the victim thinks of the rape and asks herself a thousand questions. She relives it, step by step, minute by minute, and it hurts just as bad.
Perhaps the most horrible crime of all is the violent rape of a child. A woman who is raped has a pretty good idea why it happened. Some animal was filled with hatred, anger and violence. But a child? A ten-year-old child? Suppose you're a parent. Imagine yourself trying to explain to your child why she was raped. Imagine yourself trying to explain why she cannot bear children. #Quote by John Grisham
Crime quotes by Edward Bellamy
#58. As for the comparatively small class of violent crimes against persons, unconnected with any idea of gain, they were almost wholly confined, even in your day, to the ignorant and bestial; and in these days, when education and good manners are not the monopoly of a few, but universal, such atrocities are scarcely ever heard of. #Quote by Edward Bellamy
Crime quotes by Eugene Ionesco
#59. Oh words, what crimes are committed in your name?

~Jack or The Submission #Quote by Eugene Ionesco
Crime quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
#60. Their favourite phrase! From which it follows that, if society is normally organised, all crime will cease at once, since there will be nothing to protest against and all men will become righteous in one instant. Human nature is not taken into account, it is excluded, it's not supposed to exist! They don't recognise that humanity, developing by a historical living process, will become at last a normal society, but they believe that a social system that has come out of some mathematical brain is going to organise all humanity at once and make it just and sinless in an instant, quicker than any living process! That's why they instinctively dislike history, 'nothing but ugliness and stupidity in it,' and they explain it all as stupidity! That's why they so dislike the living process of life; they don't want a living soul! The living soul demands life, the soul won't obey the rules of mechanics, the soul is an object of suspicion, the soul is retrograde! But what they want though it smells of death and can be made of India-rubber, at least is not alive, has no will, is servile and won't revolt! And it comes in the end to their reducing everything to the building of walls and the planning of rooms and passages in a phalanstery! The phalanstery is ready, indeed, but your human nature is not ready for the phalanstery - it wants life, it hasn't completed its vital process, it's too soon for the graveyard! You can't skip over nature by logic. Logic presupposes three possibilities, but #Quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Crime quotes by Thomas Mann
#61. Because passion, like crime, does not like everyday order and well-being and every slight undoing of the bourgeois system, every confusion and infestation of the world is welcome to it, because it can unconditionally expect to find its advantage in it. #Quote by Thomas Mann
Crime quotes by William J. Brennan
#62. It is difficult to understand precisely what the state hopes to achieve by promoting the creation and perpetuation of a subclass of illiterates within our boundaries, surely adding to the problems and costs of unemployment, welfare and crime. #Quote by William J. Brennan
Crime quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
#63. Crime does not decrease in proportion to the severest punishment. #Quote by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Crime quotes by Isabelle Eberhardt
#64. Crime, particularly among the poor and downtrodden, is often a last gesture of liberty. #Quote by Isabelle Eberhardt
Crime quotes by Gerry Spence
#65. A new fascism promises security from the terror of crime. All that is required is that we take away the criminals' rights - which, of course, are our own. Out of our desperation and fear we begin to feel a sense of security from the new totalitarian state. #Quote by Gerry Spence
Crime quotes by Baron De Montesquieu
#66. The crime against nature will never make any great progress in society unless people are prompted to it by some particular custom. #Quote by Baron De Montesquieu
Crime quotes by S.A. Tawks
#67. Honestly, if I stay on this gruelling path, I'm going to end up as another suicide statistic. #Quote by S.A. Tawks
Crime quotes by Abhijit Naskar
#68. Intellectually just saying "all lives matter", you may feel very good about yourself, you may feel, "I am so profound, I go beyond what people are able to see", but actually you do not see anything, you don't see the basic issues that people face, you don't see the ground-level problems that people face, you don't see the regular hate that people face, in their everyday walk of life, you are just a closet philosopher who loves to feel good in glorifying the indifference of the society. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar
Crime quotes by Marcus Aurelius
#69. Poverty is the mother of crime. #Quote by Marcus Aurelius
Crime quotes by Aurora Rose Reynolds
#70. I vow to love you unconditionally, without hesitation. I will encourage you, trust you, and respect you. As a family, we will create a home filled with learning, laughter, and compassion. I promise to be your biggest fan, your partner in crime, and the person you can always depend on. From the moment we met, you have owned me, and I will love you until I take my last breath. I will work every day to make now into always. With these words, and all the love in my heart, I marry you and bind your life to mine. #Quote by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Crime quotes by Alice Walker
#71. The original crime of niggers and lesbians is that they prefer themselves. #Quote by Alice Walker
Crime quotes by Edwin Percy Whipple
#72. Wit implies hatred or contempt of folly and crime, produces its effects by brisk shocks of surprise, uses the whip of scorpions and the branding-iron, stabs, stings, pinches, tortures, goads, teases, corrodes, undermines. #Quote by Edwin Percy Whipple
Crime quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
#73. But I have a flash of Good News from the Police Atrocity front, which is heating up in Denver. ... Stand back! Good News is rare in the Criminal Justice System, but every once in a while you find it, and this is one of those times. To wit: the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers has formally entered the Appeals trial of young Lisl Auman - the girl who remains locked up in a cell at the Colorado State Prison for the Rest of Her Life with No Possibility of Parole for a bogus crime she was never even Accused of committing. She is a living victim of a cold-blooded political trial that will cast a long shadow on Denver for many years to come. Lisl is the only person ever convicted in the United States for Felony Murder who was in police custody when the crime happened. #Quote by Hunter S. Thompson
Crime quotes by Bethany-Kris
#74. I'm not an easy lay, I won't do a one-night stand, and my father is a mob boss with a short temper and a collection of guns. Still want to take me out?" - Ana Avdonin #Quote by Bethany-Kris
Crime quotes by Ariel Levy
#75. I cried only once during the twenty-one-hour flight. I was looking out the window at the moon and thinking of the last long trip I took across the sky, and of the person who went with me and didn't come back. For a while, it was as poisonous and wrenching as it had been since the day it happened, as intolerable: a crime against nature. Then the grief went back to sleep in my body. And it was again nature herself.

Nature. Mother Nature. She is free to do whatever she chooses. #Quote by Ariel Levy
Crime quotes by Naoyuki Ochiai
#76. Is it a crime to be strong?' That's something you might have asked. And I would have answered by asking the opposite question ... 'Is it a crime to be weak? #Quote by Naoyuki Ochiai
Crime quotes by Jeremy Scahill
#77. If we're going to kill our own people without even charging them with a crime, well, then we should just say we live in a different country, and stop telling the world that we're the sort of great, shining city on the hill. #Quote by Jeremy Scahill
Crime quotes by G.K. Chesterton
#78. The work of the philosophical policeman," replied the man in blue, "is at once bolder and more subtle than that of the ordinary detective. The ordinary detective goes to pot-houses to arrest thieves; we go to artistic tea-parties to detect pessimists. The ordinary detective discovers from a ledger or a diary that a crime has been committed. We discover from a book of sonnets that a crime will be committed. We have to trace the origin of those dreadful thoughts that drive men on at last to intellectual fanaticism and intellectual crime. We were only just in time to prevent the assassination at Hartlepool, and that was entirely due to the fact that our Mr. Wilks (a smart young fellow) thoroughly understood a triolet. #Quote by G.K. Chesterton
Crime quotes by J.M. Coetzee
#79. The crime that is latent in us we must inflict on ourselves," I say. I nod and nod, driving the message home. "Not on others," I say. #Quote by J.M. Coetzee
Crime quotes by Edward M. Wolfe
#80. If a deadly snake slithering around in a pre-school bit a child, would you box it up for a month as punishment, and then release it to prey upon the children once again? #Quote by Edward M. Wolfe
Crime quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
#81. The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime. #Quote by Mignon McLaughlin

Crime quotes by Jase Robertson
#84. One night, Kevin and I were at a pool hall where we saw a guy playing pool by himself; this guy looked like a hustler. He asked me if I wanted to play for twenty dollars.
"I'll tell you what," I told him. "You can play my buddy Kevin. If you win two out of three games, I'll give you twenty dollars. If he wins, you have to leave with us and go to a Bible study."
The guy looked at me like I was nuts. He walked around the pool table a few times, pondering my offer. I took a twenty-dollar bill out and placed it on the table.
"Okay," he said. "Let's do it."
What he didn't know was that Kevin is quite the player and that I don't make bets with eternal consequences on the line unless I know we're going to win! Of course, my buddy Kevin beat him. In fact, Kevin broke and ran the table in two straight games. The other guy never even took a shot! To my surprise, the guy followed through on his bet, although he didn't seem too happy about it. As we walked to my truck to leave, he threw a full can of beer across the road and declared he was ready for a change in his life anyway. I thought that was a powerful statement since he didn't even know what we were going to share with him. He knew how we rolled, despite our presence in such a rugged place. We studied the Bible with him for several hours and baptized him the same night. What I didn't know was that the guy was sentenced to prison for an earlier crime the very next day! I wouldn't see him again until he showed up #Quote by Jase Robertson
Crime quotes by Suzy Kassem
#85. The price for standing up for Truth, no matter how severe, will always be less than the price our souls will be penalized for not speaking up for our conscience. There is no greater crime in the universe than silencing your conscience. #Quote by Suzy Kassem
Crime quotes by Judy Byington
#86. Jenny slowly awoke on the sacrificial altar to an Ethereal Light that flamed through the east wall, a radiant aura of love dispersing the frightful scene. A glow pulsating from Angeletta's body still burning in the fire pit slowly rose to join the Light. A Heavenly peace infused Jenny as she realized, There's a man standing in the air straight above me! #Quote by Judy Byington
Crime quotes by David Hewson
#87. It's so much easier to define crime than it is to put your finger on justice. #Quote by David Hewson
Crime quotes by Stefania Mattana
#88. Chase rushed after her in pursuit. The woman lost one of her high-heeled shoes and Chase took advantage of her lack of balance to tackle her. They crashed to the ground.
"Why are you running from the ball, Cinderella?" he asked. #Quote by Stefania Mattana
Crime quotes by Og Mandino
#89. I will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low. I will do the work that a failure will not do. I will always let my reach exceed my grasp. #Quote by Og Mandino
Crime quotes by Deepak Chopra
#90. The current perception I get from the evening news is that the world is dominated by human failure, crime, catastrophe, corruption, and tragedy. We are all tuning in to see how the human mind is evolving, but the media keeps hammering home the opposite, that the human mind is mired in darkness and folly. #Quote by Deepak Chopra
Crime quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
#91. [O]n general principles it is best that I should not leave the country. Scotland Yard feels lonely without me, and it causes an unhealthy excitement among the criminal classes. #Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime quotes by Douglas Adams
#92. I don't think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn't becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it's very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people 'over the Internet.' #Quote by Douglas Adams
Crime quotes by Ted Bundy
#93. I am the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you will ever meet. #Quote by Ted Bundy
Crime quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
#94. Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell. #Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime quotes by P.D. Ouspensky
#95. In existing criminology there are concepts: a criminal man, a criminal profession, a criminal society, a criminal sect, and a criminal tribe; but there is no concept of a criminal state, or a criminal government, or criminal legislation. Consequently, the biggest crimes actually escape being called crimes. #Quote by P.D. Ouspensky
Crime quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier
#96. God's ways seem dark, but, soon or late, They touch the shining hills of day; The evil cannot brook delay, The good can well afford to wait, Give ermined knaves their hour of crime; Yet have the future grand and great, The safe appeal of Truth to Time! #Quote by John Greenleaf Whittier
Crime quotes by S.A. Tawks
#97. She's happy to be home but being home means that it's an end to her adventure and escape. #Quote by S.A. Tawks
Crime quotes by Geraldine Jewsbury
#98. One's conscience reproaches one much more stingingly for one's follies than one's crimes. #Quote by Geraldine Jewsbury
Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
#99. I was so incensed that I was oblivious to all as I ran over broken glass, holding a five-foot weightlifting bar. The glass tore the soles of my feet as I chased the gang's car up the street. I remember breathing heavily as I cursed failing to catch my enemies. #Quote by Stephen Richards
Crime quotes by Ed Lynskey
#100. From Chapter 1:
"You're not a local." I paused, unsure. "Or are you?"
"Sort of. Randall Van Dotson is my dad. I'm Rennie."
After tossing her head that coy, sweet way girls do, she gave me a candid appraisal. #Quote by Ed Lynskey
Crime quotes by William James
#101. If I refuse to stop a murder because I am in doubt whether it be not justifiable homicide, I am virtually abetting the crime. If I refuse to bale out a boat because I am in doubt whether my efforts will keep her afloat, I am really helping to sink her. If in the mountain precipice I doubt my right to risk a leap, I actively connive at my destruction. He who commands himself not to be credulous of God, of duty, of freedom, of immortality, may again and again be indistinguishable from him who dogmatically denies them. Scepticism in moral matters is an active ally of immorality. Who is not for is against. The universe will have no neutrals in these questions. In theory as in practice, dodge or hedge, or talk as we like about a wise scepticism, we are really doing volunteer military service for one side or the other. #Quote by William James
Crime quotes by Noam Chomsky
#102. The invasion of Iraq was simply a war crime. Straight-out war crime. #Quote by Noam Chomsky
Crime quotes by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
#103. Crime against the individual is the equivalent of crime against humanity. #Quote by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Crime quotes by D. Todd Christofferson
#104. The scriptures, for example, discredit an ancient philosophy that has come back into vogue in our day-the philosophy of Korihor that there are no absolute moral standards, that "every man prospers according to his genius, and that every man conquers according to his strength; and whatsoever a man does is no crime" and "that when a man is dead, that is the end thereof". #Quote by D. Todd Christofferson
Crime quotes by Agatha Christie
#105. I like a good detective story," he said. "But, you know, they begin in the wrong place! They begin with the murder. But the murder is the end. The story begins long before that - years before sometimes with all the causes and events that bring certain people to a certain place at a certain time on a certain day. #Quote by Agatha Christie
Crime quotes by Edmund S. Morgan
#106. There is no denying that Francis Drake was a pirate and that the enterprise he conducted four years later in Panama was highway robbery, or at best, highjacking. But it was on the scale that transforms crime into politics. #Quote by Edmund S. Morgan
Crime quotes by Matt Taibbi
#107. So the only time RICO was used to fight mortgage fraud was when the criminal was a black gang member and the victims were banks. (Ironically, nobody thought to wonder how it was possible for a Lincoln Park gang member to buy 222 houses with no money down. Heading into that particular rabbit hole would have led to the larger crime, but nobody did.) #Quote by Matt Taibbi
Crime quotes by David Louden
#108. The boulevard was awash with the curious and the shocked as wave after wave of tourist crashed into the unmoving masses of families who had just witnessed a brawl between The Incredible Hulk and SpongeBob Squarepants over territory, boundaries and the age old issue of ownership. #Quote by David Louden
Crime quotes by Libba Bray
#109. Perhaps this is how girls fall
not in some crime of enchantment at the hands of a wicked ne'er-do-well, a grand before and after in which they are innocent victims who have no say in the matter. Perhaps they simply are kissed and want to kiss back. Perhaps they even kiss first. And why should they not? #Quote by Libba Bray
Crime quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
#110. There are no crimes and no criminals in these days. What is the use of having brains in our profession? I know well that I have it in me to make my name famous. No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done. And what is the result? There is no crime to detect, or, at most, some bungling villainy with a motive so transparent that even a Scotland Yard official can see through it. #Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime quotes by John Grisham
#111. You wired the kid," Truemann said meekly to no one in particular.
"Why not? No crime. You're the FBI, remember. You boys run more wire than AT&T."[Reggie Love] #Quote by John Grisham
Crime quotes by Michael Z. Williamson
#112. To avoid being sexist and racist, we should assume that half the perpetrators of violent crimes are white, liberal women. #Quote by Michael Z. Williamson
Crime quotes by Janet Bode
#113. Rape is a crime of violence and sex is the weapon. #Quote by Janet Bode
Crime quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
#114. There is no greater crime than to stand between a man and his development; to take any law or institution and put it around him like a collar, and fasten it there, so that as he grows and enlarges, he presses against it till he suffocates and dies. #Quote by Henry Ward Beecher
Crime quotes by Nikolas Schreck
#115. And eventually, he (Charles Manson) testified to an empty court, as Bugliosi had convinced the presiding judge Older, that Manson's hypnotic powers might convince the jury he was innocent. #Quote by Nikolas Schreck
Crime quotes by Rebecca McNutt
#116. ... So, um, you're from Rochester? Like, New York?" Jersey asked.
"Yup, we used to live out there," Rudger confirmed, nonchalant. "You ever been?"
"Naw, the closest I've ever been to there would be ... well, believe it or not, New Jersey, the place where my parents named me after. It was crowded, polluted and full of crime ... I loved it. #Quote by Rebecca McNutt
Crime quotes by Tom Bingham
#117. There are doubtless those who would wish to lock up all those who suspected of terrorist and other serious offences and, in the time-honored phrase, throw away the key. But a suspect is by definition a person whom no offence has been proved. Suspicions, even if reasonably entertained, may prove to be misplaced, as a series of tragic miscarriages of justice has demonstrated. Police officers and security officials can be wrong. It is a gross injustice to deprive of his liberty for significant periods a person who has committed no crime and does not intend to do so. No civilized country should willingly tolerate such injustices. #Quote by Tom Bingham
Crime quotes by Cassandra Clare
#118. There was no way possible [the queen] could have done all of the things the pamphleteers claimed. The crimes were too gross, too immoral and far too physically challenging. Magnus himself had never attempted half of them. #Quote by Cassandra Clare
Crime quotes by Kim Newman
#119. No crime too small' was never exactly Moriarty's slogan, but the criminal genius would apply himself to minor offences if an unusual challenge was presented. #Quote by Kim Newman
Crime quotes by Peter Ackroyd

Crime quotes by David Zelder
#121. Rescuing Elena plunged him into the nightmare world of people trafficking and sex slavery.... but as an ex-Royal Marine, he could handle it #Quote by David Zelder
Crime quotes by Becky Masterman
#122. I've sometimes regretted the women I've been.

There have been so many: daughter, sister, cop, tough broad, several kinds of whore, jilted lover, ideal wife, heroine, killer.

I'll provide the truth of them all, inasmuch as I'm capable of telling the truth.

Keeping secrets, telling lies, they require the same skill. Both become a habit, almost an addiction, that's hard to break even with the people closest to you, out of the business.

They say never trust a woman who tells you her age; if she can't keep that secret, she can't keep yours.

I'm fifty-nine. #Quote by Becky Masterman
Crime quotes by Dean Cavanagh
#123. The fictitious kleptomaniac's only crime was stealing imaginations #Quote by Dean Cavanagh
Crime quotes by Frederick The Great
#124. The cruel man is of misanthropic temperament, and is a man of moods, oscillating from quiet brooding to sudden explosions. If a man like this does not fight this unhappy provision of his soul during his youth, under no circumstances could he a void becoming furious - and foolish. There are those who would leave it up to God, but to ensure justice on the earth, and not fob it off to the Divinity, it is mandatory that people know both virtue and its benefits, since the virtues lead to unity among them, not the war of all against all. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to conserve them, and show that crime can only return misfortunes and destruction, including of the criminal himself. Who is the last victim of his crimes. #Quote by Frederick The Great
Crime quotes by Howard Scott
#125. Criminal: a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation. #Quote by Howard Scott
Crime quotes by Saira Viola
#126. Was a combo of Sal Dali and Ronald McDonald. A fringe celeb wheeled out for Tv appearances. #Quote by Saira Viola
Crime quotes by Bell Hooks
#127. To take the inherent positive sexuality of males and turn it into violence is the patriarchal crime that is perpetuated against the male body, a crime that masses of men have yet to possess the strength to report. #Quote by Bell Hooks
Crime quotes by Janet Reno
#128. My earnest hope is that what we started in terms of building partnerships with communities across America will continue, that we will continue our efforts to reduce crime and violence. #Quote by Janet Reno
Crime quotes by Patricia Cornwell
#129. To hate another person is wrong. It is never right. Hate is a crime of the spirit that leads to crimes of the flesh. #Quote by Patricia Cornwell
Crime quotes by Bertolt Brecht
#130. It's sensible,
anyone can understand it.
It's easy.
You're not an exploiter,
so you can grasp it.
It's a good thing for you,
find out more about it.
The stupid call it stupid
and the squalid call it squalid.
It is against squalor and
against stupidity.
the exploiters call it a crime
But we know:
It is the end of crime.
It is not madness, but
The end of madness.
It is not the riddle
But the solution.
It is the simple thing
So hard to achieve.
-"Praise of Communism #Quote by Bertolt Brecht
Crime quotes by Joe Biden
#131. I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years. And I just focused almost exclusively on my initiatives for national crime legislation, foreign policy issues ... #Quote by Joe Biden
Crime quotes by Trevor Noah
#132. crime succeeds because crime does the one thing the government doesn't do: crime cares. Crime is grassroots. Crime looks for the young kids who need support and a lifting hand. Crime offers internship programs and summer jobs and opportunities for advancement. Crime gets involved in the community. Crime doesn't discriminate. My #Quote by Trevor Noah
Crime quotes by Ida B. Wells
#133. The negro has suffered far more from the commission of this crime against the women of his race by white men than the white race has ever suffered through his crimes. #Quote by Ida B. Wells
Crime quotes by U.S. Concealed Carry Association
#134. The Supreme Court has declared the police are not under obligation to save individual citizens from crime. #Quote by U.S. Concealed Carry Association
Crime quotes by Lemony Snicket
#135. Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it would be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house, and eat it. #Quote by Lemony Snicket
Crime quotes by Joe Bageant
#136. Doesn't it seem more reasonable to take action to heal the social pathology that generates crime than to use gun control to blow another political toe off American liberalism during each election cycle? #Quote by Joe Bageant
Crime quotes by Chris Carter
#137. He's my new partner JJ and I don't think he likes you very much. Last guy he took a dislike to still can't eat anything more solid than yogurt.'

'Can't you keep him on a leash?'

'Sure I can. The leash is in the car. I'll go get it. You guys will be OK by yourselves for ten minutes or so, right? #Quote by Chris Carter
Crime quotes by Dick Durbin
#138. I have thought about this issue of abortion time and again. It is not an easy issue for most people.I came to believe over the years that a woman should be able to make this agonizing decision with her doctor and her family and her conscience, and that we should be very careful that we don't make that decision a crime except in the most extreme circumstances. #Quote by Dick Durbin
Crime quotes by Ian McEwan
#139. All day we've witnessed each other's crimes. You killed no one today? But how many did you leave to die? #Quote by Ian McEwan
Crime quotes by Emile Durkheim
#140. we should not say that an act offends the common consciousness because it is criminal, but that it is criminal because it offends the common consciousness #Quote by Emile Durkheim
Crime quotes by Lord Chesterfield
#141. Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one. #Quote by Lord Chesterfield
Crime quotes by Jeffrey Bell
#142. One of the things that Dostoevsky talks about is that no character is too high to fall and no character is too low to be redeemed. 'Crime and Punishment' began with a person going out and consciously becoming a cold-blooded murderer, and it took 800 pages and an epilogue before the person finally asked for forgiveness. #Quote by Jeffrey Bell
Crime quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
#143. In general, we draw no distinction between intention and the crime itself, and this is an instance of the superiority of Soviet legislation to bourgeois legislation #Quote by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Crime quotes by Tim DeKay
#144. 'White Collar' is a show about the unlikely pairing of an FBI agent and an ex-con solving smart, glamorous, interesting and provocative crimes in a sometimes very funny way. #Quote by Tim DeKay
Crime quotes by Kaye Gibbons
#145. That's all my grandfather was guilty of, fear, faith in his words, but that was a high crime in her eyes. That's all Jack was guilty of that day, but I've lived with him a good while and I believe I understand him. Sometimes it might take an afternoon or evening of being here in this kitchen alone, thinking, but I can usually come to see his reasons through his ways. And half the job of finding peace is finding understanding. Don't you believe it to be so? #Quote by Kaye Gibbons
Crime quotes by Ron Chernow
#146. As the bull market goes on, people who take great risks achieve great rewards, seemingly without punishment. It's like crime without punishment or sex without sin. #Quote by Ron Chernow
Crime quotes by Ruth Rendell
#147. I get very tired of violence in crime fiction. Maybe it is what life is like, but I don't want to do it in my books. #Quote by Ruth Rendell
Crime quotes by Carl Panzram
#148. If you think that you can stop crime by catching us, locking us up, punishing us by brutal treatment, hanging or electrocuting us, sterilizing or castrating us, then you are a fool for thinking that way. That only makes bad matters worse. #Quote by Carl Panzram
Crime quotes by Mike Bartos
#149. The old joke is that psychiatrists are doctors who can't stand the sight of blood. Maybe they can't stand it, but if they work where I work, they damn well better get used to it.
At least surgeons and prizefighters get to wear gloves #Quote by Mike Bartos
Crime quotes by Edward Snowden
#150. Citizens have to fight suppression of information on matters of vital public importance. To tell the truth is not a crime. #Quote by Edward Snowden
Crime quotes by George H. W. Bush
#151. We join Armenians around the world as we remember the terrible massacres suffered in 1915-1923 at the hands of the rulers of the Ottoman Empire. The United States responded to this crime against humanity by leading diplomatic and private relief efforts. #Quote by George H. W. Bush
Crime quotes by H.L. Mencken
#152. The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair. #Quote by H.L. Mencken
Crime quotes by Alethea Kontis
#153. They know their crime," she said. "They know their shame. #Quote by Alethea Kontis
Crime quotes by David Boaz
#154. The only way to break the cycle of unwed motherhood, fatherless children, poverty, crime, and welfare is to recognize that welfare causes more problems than it cures. #Quote by David Boaz
Crime quotes by Jia Tolentino
#155. No crime is confounding and punitive the way rape is. No other violent offense comes with a built-in alibi that can instantly exonerate the criminal and place responsibility on the victim. There is no glorified interpersonal behavior that can be used to explain robbery or murder the way that sex can be used to explain rape. The best-case scenario for a rape victim in terms of adjudication is the worst-case scenario in terms of experience: for people to believe you deserve justice, you have to be destroyed. The fact that feminism is ascendant and accepted does not change this. The world that we believe in, that we're attempting to make real and tangible, is still not the world that exists. #Quote by Jia Tolentino
Crime quotes by Shizra
#156. Being too nice is a crime today.Fake friends are every where around you. they will use you and when you are of no use, throw you away like a wrapper . #Quote by Shizra
Crime quotes by Jack Valenti
#157. If movies are causing moral decay, then crime ought to be going up, but crime is going down. #Quote by Jack Valenti
Crime quotes by Andrea Camilleri
#158. The inspector sat down on a stair, fired up a cigarette, and entered an immobility contest with a lizard. #Quote by Andrea Camilleri
Crime quotes by Stephen Craig
#159. In fact, until the last moments of his life, until the last seconds as he gasped for breath, he never realised how much he wanted to live. But, at that point, death was inevitable and nothing that had happened could be changed. #Quote by Stephen Craig
Crime quotes by Munindra Misra
#160. 1.17 THE WORLDLY WAYS
The world, the din, the time, the kin,
In our days are a sin,
Love's condemned and not true,
A farce for sex, a laugh at You.
[179] - 1
Simplicity is a crime,
Frauds and liars are divine,
Sex is worshiped, live not true,
Cheat be cheated our mottos new.
[180] - 1
Love is lost - so dear to You,
And lovers are but a few,
'Cause they know that live if hell,
As customs are but their cell.
[181] - 1
The lies, the crime, the evil ways,
Are the paths of our days,
We love our neighbour as love's not true,
And hate the others cause they do too.
[182] - 1 #Quote by Munindra Misra

Crime quotes by Fernando Vallejo
#166. Heaven and happiness do not exist. That is your parents' way to justify the crime of having brought you into this world. What exists is reality, the tough reality, this slaughterhouse we've come to die in, if not to kill and to eat the animals, our fellow creatures. Therefore, do not reproduce, do not repeat the crimes committed against you, do not give back the same, evil paid with evil, as imposing life is the ultimate crime. Do not disturb the unborn, let them be in the peace of nothingness. Anyway we'll all eventually go back there, so why beat around the bush? #Quote by Fernando Vallejo
Crime quotes by Bob Dylan
#167. Well I knew when I first laid eyes on her
I could never be free
One look at her and I knew right away
She should always be with me
Well the dream dried up a long time ago
Don't know where it is anymore
True to life, true to me
Was the girl from the red river shore
Well I'm wearing the cloak of misery
And I've tasted jilted love
And the frozen smile upon my face
Fits me like a glove
Well I can't escape from the memory
Of the one I'll always adore
All those nights when I lay in the arms
Of the girl from the red river shore
Well we're living in the shadows of a fading past
Trapped in the fires of time
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody
And to stay out of the life of crime
And when it's all been said and done
I never did know the score
One more day is another day away
From the girl from the red river shore. #Quote by Bob Dylan
Crime quotes by Banksy
#168. Remember crime against property is not real crime. People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access. #Quote by Banksy
Crime quotes by Alexei Navalny
#169. Stupidity is not a crime. #Quote by Alexei Navalny
Crime quotes by C.R. Lemons
#170. My goal from the outset was to write a novel that perfectly balanced crime and romance. It's not unusual to see detectives or legal personnel fall for each other in literature, but it often stops before it gets exciting. I really hit hard with the romance and erotica; sex is a natural part of any relationship and hence something I didn't want to shy away from. #Quote by C.R. Lemons
Crime quotes by Martin Gardner
#171. Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs. #Quote by Martin Gardner
Crime quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
#172. Use your powers! Go to the scene of the crime! See the people concerned! Leave no stone unturned! In all your career you have never had so great a chance of serving your country. #Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime quotes by Lorne Malvo Fargo
#173. It's a red tide, Lester. This life of ours. The shit they make us eat. Day after day - The boss, the wife, et cetera - wearing us down. If you don't stand up to it, let 'em know you're still an ape. Deep down where it counts. You're just gonna get washed away. #Quote by Lorne Malvo Fargo
Crime quotes by Isaac Asimov
#174. I'm being accused of modesty, a horrible and thoroughly unnatural crime. #Quote by Isaac Asimov
Crime quotes by Mike Madrid
#175. Comic book writers often suggest that women don't have the same dedication to the noble cause, because their need for love is often of equal or greater importance than their quest for justice. Superheroines want to fight crime, but want to settle down as well. If Mr. Right popped the question, a heroine could easily retire that mask and cape and settle down to life as a wife and mother. The implication is that no matter how powerful a woman is, she needs the love of a man to complete her. #Quote by Mike Madrid
Crime quotes by Janet Frame
#176. Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime. #Quote by Janet Frame
Crime quotes by Jurgen Habermas
#177. I cannot imagine a context that would some day, in some manner, make the monstrous crime of September 11 an understandable or comprehensible political act. #Quote by Jurgen Habermas
Crime quotes by Jane D. Hull
#178. We improved the environment in which our children live, learn and play by decreasing crime and clamping down on abuse and violence in the home and on the streets. #Quote by Jane D. Hull
Crime quotes by Sandra Mara
#179. the FBI can, with the permission of an employer, keep the records of anyone whose background is checked as a condition of employment. If, at some stage in the future, that person is ever arrested or charged with a crime, but not necessarily convicted, the FBI can inform their employer about it. A "big brother" scenario if ever there was one. Fingerprint #Quote by Sandra Mara
Crime quotes by Stan Lee
#180. What did Doctor Doom really want? He wanted to rule the world. Now, think about this. You could walk across the street against a traffic light and get a summons for jaywalking, but you could walk up to a police officer and say "I want to rule the world," and there's nothing he can do about it, that is not a crime. Anybody can want to rule the world. So, even though he was the Fantastic Four's greatest menace, in my mind, he was never a criminal! #Quote by Stan Lee
Crime quotes by Ted Bundy
#181. The fantasy that accompanies and generates the anticipation that precedes the crime is always more stimulating than the immediate aftermath of the crime itself. #Quote by Ted Bundy
Crime quotes by Franco Santoro
#182. Every time we make assumptions about what other people feel, do or think, we imprison them and us in a separate reality. When we believe in those assumptions and act accordingly, this separate reality becomes an existential torture chamber for them and ultimately for us. All the terror and pain that we experience or see in the world is the result of our assumptions. Assumptions are the greatest crime in human consciousness. Hence let's start to create an assumption-free world. #Quote by Franco Santoro
Crime quotes by Steven D. Levitt
#183. On a per capita basis, Switzerland has more firearms than just about any other country, and yet it is one of the safest places in the world. In other words, guns do not cause crime. #Quote by Steven D. Levitt
Crime quotes by Deyth Banger
#184. Horror make me awake and when I don't think about it but I read it it make me sleepy! #Quote by Deyth Banger
Crime quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
#185. Nothing in the world is easier in the United States than to accuse a black man of crime. #Quote by W.E.B. Du Bois
Crime quotes by Christopher Hitchens
#186. There must be some connection between the general nullity of Christie's prose and the tendency of her detectives to take Jewishness as a symptom of crime. #Quote by Christopher Hitchens
Crime quotes by Melvin Glover
#187. If Graffiti is art and art is a crime then how come piccaso never done time? #Quote by Melvin Glover
Crime quotes by Philip Pullman
#188. [I]n adult literary fiction, stories are there on sufferance. Other things are felt to be more important: technique, style, literary knowingness. Adult readers who do deal in straightforward stories find themselves sidelined into a genre such as crime or science fiction, where no one expects literary craftsmanship. But stories are vital. Stories never fail us, because, as Isaac Bashevis Singer says, "events never grow stale." There's more wisdom in a story than in volumes of philosophy. [Contemporary writers, however,] take up their stories as with a pair of tongs. They're embarrassed by them. If they could write novels without stories in them, they would. Sometimes they do. #Quote by Philip Pullman
Crime quotes by Margo Kingston
#189. David Irving is under arrest in Austria for Holocaust denial. Perhaps there is a case for making climate change denial an offence - it is a crime against humanity after all. #Quote by Margo Kingston
Crime quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin
#190. Vladimir Ilyich (Lenin), your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the ideas you pretend to hold.
Is it possible that you do not know what a hostage really is - a man imprisoned not because of a crime he has committed, but only because it suits his enemies to exert blackmail on his companions? ... If you admit such methods, one can foresee that one day you will use torture, as was done in the Middle Ages.
I hope you will not answer me that Power is for political men a professional duty, and that any attack against that power must be considered as a threat against which one must guard oneself at any price. This opinion is no longer held even by kings... Are you so blinded, so much a prisoner of your own authoritarian ideas, that you do not realise that being at the head of European Communism, you have no right to soil the ideas which you defend by shameful methods ... What future lies in store for Communism when one of its most important defenders tramples in this way every honest feeling? #Quote by Pyotr Kropotkin
Crime quotes by Sofie Kelly
#191. Being able to walk through walls or disappear weren't the only skills my cats had. They seemed to have an uncanny ability to, well, solve crime. They were like two small, furry Sherlock Holmeses. #Quote by Sofie Kelly
Crime quotes by Jon Krakauer
#192. When an individual is raped in this country, more than 90 percent of the time the rapist gets away with the crime. #Quote by Jon Krakauer
Crime quotes by Michael Prelee
#193. These guys we're meeting? They're dead. Saji has had things done to people who crossed him or whom he has perceived as crossing him. Ugly things. These guys we're meeting? They think they're tough. They run book, own strip clubs, dabble in petty theft and probably sell dope for all I know and they're comfortable in that world, thinking they own it. That arrogance? That feeling that they can just push people around and do anything they want? It has left them with one foot in the grave and they don't even know it. #Quote by Michael Prelee
Crime quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
#194. Our nation now affirms, through its legislative bodies and courts, a distinctively anti-Christian agenda. Anything singularly Christian has been virtually swept away under the aegis of equal rights and moral freedom. The divine standards and biblical morality that our nation once embraced are assaulted constantly. Moral freedom now reigns. Materialism and the breakdown of the family are epidemic. Abortions, sexual evils, drugs, and crime are rampant. And our leaders are at a loss to know what to do because there are no standards left to provide controls for these problems. #Quote by John F. MacArthur Jr.
Crime quotes by Ben H. Winters
#195. I can't solve the crime unless I know everything and the world can't end with the crime unsolved, that's all there is to it, so I tighten my grip on her shoulders and demand that she remember. #Quote by Ben H. Winters
Crime quotes by David Limbaugh
#196. I am neither accusing President Obama of having committed high crimes and misdemeanors nor advocating his impeachment. #Quote by David Limbaugh
Crime quotes by Charles Robert Maturin
#197. Mine is the best theology, the theology of utter hostility to all beings whose sufferings may mitigate mine. In this flattering theory, your crimes become my virtues,–I need not any of my own. Guilty as I am of the crime that outrages nature, your crimes (the crimes of those who offend against the church) are of a much more heinous order. But your guilt is my exculpation, your sufferings are my triumph. I need not repent, I need not believe; if you suffer, I am saved,–that is enough for me. How glorious and easy it is to erect at once the trophy of our salvation, on the trampled and buried hopes of another's! How subtle and sublime that alchemy, that can convert the iron of another's contumacy and impenitence into the precious gold of your own redemption! I have literally worked out my salvation by your fear and trembling. #Quote by Charles Robert Maturin
Crime quotes by Jan Schakowsky
#198. It would be one thing if we could say the system works [in Illinois], and that individuals followed procedures and were found innocent, but in fact in all the cases it was really a fluke ... We find persistent wrongdoing on the part of law enforcement. It's really sheer luck that those convicted of these [capital] crimes were exonerated in the end. #Quote by Jan Schakowsky
Crime quotes by Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
#199. It is time to have real conversations. Even in high crime areas – everybody in that area is not committing crimes. Everybody on the police force is not corrupt. Just like everybody in the hospital is not sick. Everybody in the jailhouse is not an inmate. What America and the media have to stop doing is painting the picture with such a broad stroke. We have to begin to deal with each incident and each individual as that – an individual incident. Until then, we will continue to have the needless loss of lives and unnecessary force. #Quote by Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
Crime quotes by George Carlin
#200. I went straight from shenanigans to crimes against humanity. #Quote by George Carlin
