Measure Crime

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)
