Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.
Honore de Balzac
Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.
Steven Spielberg
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
Salma Hayek
If someone doesn’t want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.
Tom Cruise
The source of every crime, is some defect of the understanding; or some error in reasoning; or some sudden force of the passions.
Thomas Hobbes
Every study on crime and or firearms proves time and time again, that 99.99999% of American gun owners do not commit crimes or use our firearms in any dangerous or improper way.
Ted Nugent
Only criminals and bloodsuckers reward bad behavior.
If guns cause crime, all of mine are defective.
Tell Allen I plead guilty to vampirism and other crimes against life. But I love him and nothing else cancels love.
William Seward
“[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.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
“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.”
“It is a mistake to confound strangeness with mystery. The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn. This murder would have been infinitely more difficult to unravel had the body of the victim been simply found lying in the roadway without any of those outré and sensational accompaniments which have rendered it remarkable. These strange details, far from making the case more difficult, have really had the effect of making it less so.”
“Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
“The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when [Holmes] became a specialist in crime.”
“The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive.”
“Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.”
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
[I]t seems to me as clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.
Mahatama Gandhi
The American Constitution was not written to protect criminals; it was written to protect the government from becoming criminals.
Lenny Bruce
In a well governed state, there are few punishments, not because there are many pardons, but because criminals are rare; it is when a state is in decay that the multitude of crimes is a guarantee of impunity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"Curst greed of gold, what crimes thy tyrant power has caused."
Virgil
"Dying is not a crime."
Jack Kevorkian
"A condemned poor man, if steals to feed his starving kid, is slammed into prison. Contrast this to a rich man's crime."
Imran Khan
"Good deeds must be rewarded by the system and crimes be punished - this is the essence of meritocracy."
