Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or wave:

    “He took control of me for forty-five minutes. This time I’ll have control over him for the rest of his life. If he gets out fifteen years from now, I’ll know. I’ll check on him every three months through police computers. If he makes one mistake he’s going down again. I’ll make sure. I’m his worst enemy now.”
    —Elizabeth Wilson, U.S. crime victim. As quoted in People magazine, p. 88 (May 31, 1993)

    the tide turning. Last
    eager wave over-
    taken and pulled back
    by first wave of the ebb.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
