Famous quotes containing the words measure and/or crime:
“O flight,
bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,
we measure her by the pine trees.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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)
