Hunter S. Thompson
“There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. . . / Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it”
Henry Thomas Buckle
“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.”
Oscar Wilde
“Had we but world enough, and time, / This coyness, Lady, were no crime.”
Andrew Marvell
“The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.”
Ramsey Clark
“It's a crazy society now. It's the richest society ever and yet people are overworked. There's more unemployment, more crime, more confusion, more broken marriages. This is a breakdown. Every culture breaks down. Every society breaks down, whether it's Rome, Spain, the British Empire. The people in charge probably didn't get it until they had their heads chopped off.”
Jerry Brown
