Famous quotes containing the word crime:
“It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Growing old’s like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.”
