Famous quotes containing the words felony, murder and/or rule:

    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    The boys with their feet on the desks know that the easiest murder case in the world to break is the one somebody tried to get very cute with; the one that really bothers them is the murder somebody only thought of two minutes before he pulled it off.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Good taste is either that which agrees with my taste or that which subjects itself to the rule of reason. From this we can see how useful it is to employ reason in seeking out the laws of taste.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
