Common Crime

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or crime:

“There is all the poetry in the world in a name. It is a poem which the mass of men hear and read. What is poetry in the common sense, but a hearing of such jingling names? I want nothing better than a good word. The name of a thing may easily be more than the thing itself to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Difference of opinion is the one crime which kings never forgive. An empire is an immense egotism.”
