Crime Writer

Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or writer:

    There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In a sense the world dies every time a writer dies, because, if he is any good, he has been a wet nurse to humanity during his entire existence and has held earth close around him, like the little obstetrical toad that goes about with a cluster of eggs attached to his legs.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
