Famous quotes containing the words outline of, outline, criminal and/or justice:

    It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art.

    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    How many condemnations I have witnessed more criminal than the crime!
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    He is, in fact, the best tempered, and not the least impartial of reviewers. He goes out of his way to do justice to profligates and quacks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
