Famous quotes containing the word thief:

    A woman hostage
    will call a young thief “hero”
    and look at him with love,
    even if she’s lost her mind with grief
    because her family
    has been slaughtered.
    As far as virtues go,
    who can hold a grudge?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
