Guilty

Famous quotes containing the word guilty:

“She, as a veil down to the slender waist,
Her unadorned golden tresses wore
Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved
As the vine curls her tendrils, which implied
Subjection, but required with gentle sway,
And by her yielded, by him best received,
Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,
And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
Nor those mysterious parts were then concealed:
Then was not guilty shame: dishonest Shame
Of Nature’s works, Honour dishonourable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
