Famous quotes containing the word occurrence:

    “One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
