Famous quotes containing the word crime:
“Thy Godlike crime was to be kind,
To render with thy precepts less
The sum of human wretchedness,
And strengthen Man with his own mind;”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“How could passion run so deep
Had I never thought
That the crime of being born
Blackens all our lot?”
