Famous quotes containing the words california, criminal and/or law:
“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires.

I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

For privilege when there’s no law of form?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
