Famous quotes containing the words high, profile and/or crime:

    We do not prove the existence of the poem.
    It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
    It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
    A little and a little, suddenly,
    By means of a separate sense. It is and it
    Is not and, therefore, is.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Actor: Electrician, a little more this way with that spotlight. What are you trying to do, ruin my profile?
    Electrician: Your profile was ruined the day you were born.
    James Gleason (1886–1959)

    The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
