Crimes

Famous quotes containing the word crimes:

    When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you’re older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
    —I.F. (Isidor Feinstein)

    It may be impossible to have a revolution without crimes but that does not make revolution a crime.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer “Yes, but I did it for the money” satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
