Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or robberies:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“True, we’re not great thieves, like the nobles. Our robberies are petty compared to the wholesale plunder of the nation.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
