Famous quotes containing the words tooth and/or crime:

    “Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
    Thou art not so unkind
    As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen
    Because thou art not seen,
    Although thy breath be rude.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
