Famous quotes containing the word crime:

    It is a crime against the State to be powerful enough to commit one.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    Growing old’s like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.
    Anthony Powell (b. 1905)

    Lady Dellwyn ... for the first time began to entertain some suspicions that she had a heart to bestow. Not that she was actuated by that romantic passion which creates indifference to every other object and makes all happiness to consist in pleasing the beloved person, [but] only overstraining delicacy so much as to feel it almost a crime to charm any other.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
