Famous quotes containing the word hecht:

    I spent my life mixin’ with your breed, and I don’t like it. Get me. You can hide behind a lot of red tape, crooked lawyers and politicians with the gimmes, writs of habeas corpus, witnesses that don’t remember overnight, but we’ll get through to you, just like we got all the rest.
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    an endless wind
    Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
    In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
