Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or cases:

    The criminal is quite frequently not equal to his deed: he belittles and slanders it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
