Famous quotes containing the word crime:

    Difference of opinion is the one crime which kings never forgive. An empire is an immense egotism.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Lady Dellwyn ... for the first time began to entertain some suspicions that she had a heart to bestow. Not that she was actuated by that romantic passion which creates indifference to every other object and makes all happiness to consist in pleasing the beloved person, [but] only overstraining delicacy so much as to feel it almost a crime to charm any other.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Almost all crime is due to the repressed desire for aesthetic expression.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
