“But no, he only said,
“Well, there’s the storm. That says I must go on.
That wants me as a war might if it came.

—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
