Famous quotes containing the word crimes:
“... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
to escape writing of the worst thing of all
not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!”
—Emma Goldman (18691940)
“Those who are incapable of commiting great crimes will not easily suspect others of doing so.”
