Criminal Quotes (page 10)

There is a legitimate argument over whether the death penalty effectively deters violent crime, although my personal observation is that not one of the criminals who have been executed over the years has ever killed again. Dinesh D'Souza

Mathias shrugged. After all, a criminal lawyer is not concerned with facts. He is concerned with probabilities. It is the novelist who is concerned with facts, whose job it is to say what a particular man did do on a particular occasion: the lawyer does not, cannot be expected to go further than show what the ordinary man would be most likely to do under presumed circumstances. Richard Hughes
It is the modern literature of the educated, not of the uneducated, which is avowedly and aggressively criminal..The vast mass of humanity, with their vast mass of idle books and idle words, have never doubted and never will doubt that courage is splendid, that fidelity is noble, that distressed ladies should be rescued, and vanquished enemies spared. There are a large number of cultivated persons who doubt these maxims of daily life. Gilbert K. Chesterton
While there is a lower class I am in it; while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free Eugene V. Debs
Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom. Miyamoto Musashi

Of course we're Criminals Frank Miller
Further, an excess of legislation defeats its own ends. It makes the whole population criminals, and turns them all into police and police spies. The moral health of such a people is ruined for ever; only revolution can save it. Aleister Crowley
The White House, that whole criminal mob, those arrogant goons who see themselves as justified to operate above the law-they disgrace democracy by claiming that what they do they do for democracy! They should be in jail. They should be in Hollywood! John Irving
Peter Benchley quote: "He felt at once betrayed and betrayer, deceived and deceiver...."
He felt at once betrayed and betrayer, deceived and deceiver. He was a criminal forced into crime, an unwilling whore. Peter Benchley
The maker of kitsch does not create inferior art, he is not an incompetent or a bungler, he cannot be evaluated by aesthetic standards; rather, he is ethically depraved, a criminal willing radical evil. And since it is radical evil that is manifest here, evil per se, forming the absolute negative pole of every value-system, kitsch will always be evil, not just kitsch in art, but kitsch in every value-system that is not an imitation system. Hermann Broch
E. M. Forster quote: "She must be assured that it is not a criminal offense to love..."
She must be assured that it is not a criminal offense to love at first sight. E. M. Forster
Kurt Weill quote: "Who is the greater criminal: he who robs a bank or he who..."
Who is the greater criminal: he who robs a bank or he who founds one? (Three Penny Opera) Kurt Weill
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. Eugene V. Debs
