Famous quotes containing the word crimes:
“The worst of crimes. All the other crimes are virtues beside it: all the other dishonors are chivalry itself by comparison. Poverty blights whole cities; spreads horrible pestilences; strikes dead the very souls of all who come within sight, sound, or smell of it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“‘Tis no sin love’s fruit to steal;
But the sweet theft to reveal,
To be taken, to be seen,
These have crimes accounted been.”

“There are crimes which become innocent and even glorious through their splendor, number and excess.”
