Lillian Byrd Crime

Famous quotes containing the words lillian and/or crime:

    For me, it’s enough! They’ve been here long enough—maybe too long. It’s a funny thing, though. All these years Fred was too busy to have much time for the kids, now he’s the one who’s depressed because they’re leaving. He’s really having trouble letting go. He wants to gather them around and keep them right here in this house.
    —Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)

    You punish crimes committed, with us the thought of crime is a sin; you fear the voice of witness, we the sole voice of conscience.
    Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
