Fact Crime

Famous quotes containing the words fact and/or crime:

“Let our conversation now be without precedent in fact or literature, each one speaking to the best of his ability the truth to the best of his knowledge.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
