Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or organization:
“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i the sun
And bleat the one at th other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits neer been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly Not guilty, the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“When a mans partners killed, hes supposed to do something about it. It doesnt make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and youre supposed to do something about it. As it happens, were in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, its, its bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (19061987)
