Famous quotes containing the word crime:

    Growing old’s like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.
    Anthony Powell (b. 1905)

    There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
    George Farquhar (1678–1707)

    The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man’s frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)
