Famous quotes containing the word indictment:

    “I do not know a method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “The indictment had never been clearly expressed,
    And it seemed that the Snark had begun,
    And had spoken three hours, before any one guessed
    What the pig was supposed to have done.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
