Crime Quotes

I’m just an entertainer. In a way crime stories are boring. A crime’s been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you’ve got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that’s why character matters, why you’ve got to make the characters interesting Picture Quote #1

So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can’t read that Picture Quote #1

A lot of writers, especially crime writers, have an image that we think we’re trying to keep up with. You’ve got to be seen as dark and slightly dangerous. But I’m not like that and I’ve realised that I don’t need to put that on. People will buy the books whether they see a photo of you dressed in black or not Picture Quote #1

One of the surprising things I hadn’t expected when I decided to write crime fiction is how much you are expected to be out in front of the public. Some writers aren’t comfortable with that. I don’t have a problem with that Picture Quote #1

I’m at the age where I just want to experiment. You know, play a crime investigator one week, a pregnant girl one week, an angel of darkness another week. I don’t want to define myself by any category, or age, or role Picture Quote #1

Moviegoers love the intricacies of a crime all the more when it’s for a good cause Picture Quote #1

A real cop fights real crime. A vice cop’s only job is to ruin the party Picture Quote #1

I have never been on the receiving end of a hate crime, or even a disparaging remark to my face Picture Quote #1

There is no reason to live in fear of crime and violence. There is however reason to take reasonable precautions. And in doing so, you will have deterred most criminals from choosing you as their victim Picture Quote #1

I’m a bit of a hacker fanatic and know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare Picture Quote #1

From the very beginning, our state and national constitutions and laws have laid great emphasis on procedural and substantive safeguards designed to assure fair trials before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law. This noble ideal cannot be realized if the poor man charged with crime has to face his accusers without a lawyer to assist him Picture Quote #1

There’s an obsession, within our culture, with the genteel thief. Somebody who commits a crime, but does it in a classy way Picture Quote #1

Let’s say that you commit a crime, you get caught, you might get sent to prison. It’s going to be bad. But if you get caught spying, you’re literally hanged the next morning Picture Quote #1

I never think I feel cynical in general. Cynical is reality with an alternate spelling. I feel there’s a gigantic amount of injustice and overt crime every day in the world, from emotional crimes to international crimes, and it often carries rewards Picture Quote #1

It is organized violence on top which creates individual violence at the bottom. It is the accumulated indignation against organized wrong, organized crime, organized injustice, which drives the political offender to act Picture Quote #1

They who once engage in iniquitous designs miserably deceive themselves when they think that they will go so far and no farther; one fault begets another, one crime renders another necessary; and thus they are impelled continually downward into a depth of guilt, which at the commencement of their career they would have died rather than have incurred Picture Quote #1

There are certain things that words on paper can never make a crime,.. There are certain acts that by sheer common sense are not crimes Picture Quote #1

A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime Picture Quote #1

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery Picture Quote #1

The first atrocity, the first war crime committed in any war of aggression by the aggressors is against the truth Picture Quote #1

Cruise passengers can be blinded to the very real perils of the sea by ship operators unwilling to interrupt the party for security warnings. And after an incident occurs, a thorough investigation can be profoundly difficult when the crime scene literally floats away, on schedule, to its next port of call Picture Quote #1

A majority of the crime in the downtown is property crime. There have been a few larcenies and burglaries, but robberies and assaults are not common in the downtown. There isn’t usually any violent crime Picture Quote #1

The contagion of crime is like that of the plague. Criminals collected together corrupt each other. They are worse than ever when, at the termination of their punishment, they return to society Picture Quote #1

There are multitudes of pure and holy spirits waiting to take tabernacles, now what is our duty. To prepare tabernacles for them; to take a course that will not tend to drive those spirits into families of the wicked, where they will be trained in wickedness, debauchery, and every species of crime. It is the duty of every righteous man and woman to prepare tabernacles for all the spirits they can.This is the reason why the doctrine of plurality of wives was revealed, that the noble spirits which are waiting for tabernacles might be brought forth Picture Quote #1

In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed Picture Quote #1

The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it’s in the way that it’s spent Picture Quote #1

At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea is not for immunity to, but for the most unsparing exposure of, the politician who betrays his trust, of the big business man who makes or spends his fortune in illegitimate or corrupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced. Expose the crime, and hunt down the criminal; but remember that even in the case of crime, if it is attacked in sensational, lurid, and untruthful fashion, the attack may do more damage to the public mind than the crime itself Picture Quote #1

I really believe, in my heart and soul, that if we would rebuild and strengthen the family structure in the country, you’d start to really deal with a number of the most difficult problems we’re having in the country today, in poverty, education, and in crime, but we’ve broken the family structure up Picture Quote #1

If one steps out on a starry night and observes one’s inner state, one asks if one could hate or be overwhelmed by envy or resentment.... Is it not true that no man or woman has ever committed a crime while in a state of wonder? Picture Quote #1

That someone would want another human being to suffer, or would even tolerate the idea, for committing no crime at all but being reasonable, is truly frightening. A religion that breeds such people is a genuine plague upon the earth Picture Quote #1
