Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or wave:

    “There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
