Famous quotes containing the word crime:

    “The penalty may be removed, the crime is eternal.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

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

    “Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
