Crime Quotes

I always feel that crime films are about capitalism because it is a genre where it is perfectly acceptable for all the characters to be motivated by the desire for money. In some ways, the crime film is the most honest American film because it portrays Americans as I experience a lot of them, in Hollywood, as being very concerned with money Picture Quote #1

The United States is an illegitimate country, just like Israel. It has no right to exist. That country belongs to the Red man, the American Indian... It’s actually a shame to be a so-called American, because everybody living there is a usurper, an invader taking part in this crime, which is to rob the land, rob the country and kill all the American Indians Picture Quote #1

Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any Canadian or Indian in his person or property, I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment, as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it shall not be disproportioned to its guilt, at such a time and in such a cause Picture Quote #1

I think the most horrible name for a crime has to be manslaughter. ... I slaughtered a man! Just like a pig! Put him on a spit and put an apple in his mouth! Picture Quote #1

I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what’s happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it, because I always want to talk about certain things in society Picture Quote #1

The scriptures, for example, discredit an ancient philosophy that has come back into vogue in our day-the philosophy of Korihor that there are no absolute moral standards, that every man prospers according to his genius, and that every man conquers according to his strength; and whatsoever a man does is no crime and that when a man is dead, that is the end thereof Picture Quote #1

People are angry and dispirited about government because of a failure to do something about crime 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

Everything is personal - the poems and the crime novels. I have never been involved in any murders, but there are strong autobiographical elements in each Picture Quote #1

Let’s stop pretending we can arrest our way to safety and security. Despite all the fine work that policemen and women do, we have got to find other solutions to deter crime Picture Quote #1

Either we need to redefine what probable cause means and say that police are not subject to it, or we arrest officers right away just as we would with any other person accused of committing a crime. Either we write new laws or enforce existing ones; we cannot have it both ways Picture Quote #1

If Graffiti is art and art is a crime then how come piccaso never done time? Picture Quote #1

There is direct correlation between a society lacking in artistic vision to lack of social conscience, i.e., crime, poverty, and senseless, violent atrocities, materialism Picture Quote #1

As far as U.S. intelligence knows, Iran is developing nuclear capacities, but they don’t know if they are trying to develop nuclear weapons or not. Chances are they’re developing what’s called ‘nuclear capability,’ which many states have. That is the ability to have nuclear weapons if they decide to do it. That’s not a crime Picture Quote #1

I can not, therefore, see how this can be imputed as a crime, or how any of the king’s ministers can be blamed for his doing what the public has no concern in; for if the public be well and faithfully served it has no business to ask by whom Picture Quote #1

Because you’re a crime writer you’re asked to have a point of view on a lot of things, and I’m uncomfortable having public opinions on things that are not my professional area Picture Quote #1

How do we prevent Iran developing an atomic bomb, when, on the American side, dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not recognised as a war crime? Picture Quote #1

Those who commit suicide, pensive, lonely, philosophers, are awake in life, which is a serious crime. In life everybody must be asleep Picture Quote #1

It means working harder to do the research but I don’t really mind - I don’t think I have what it takes to chase criminals through back alleys and wade through blood at crime scenes Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it’s true you can’t go back in time, but you can return to the scene of a love, of a crime, of happiness, and of a fateful decision; the places are what remain, are what you can possess, are what is immortal Picture Quote #1

I realized crime isn’t the only way you can judge people. People can do good things, and people can do bad things. It’s probably better to understand people for the good things they do Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to sleep with prostitutes or take drugs in order to have a relationship with organized crime. They affect our bank accounts. They affect our communications, our pension funds. They even affect the food that we eat and our governments Picture Quote #1

If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn’t fit the crime, so I denied the crime Picture Quote #1

The best way to perpetuate poverty is by spending on arms and military, and the best way to fight terrorism is by fighting the basic needs of humanity, because hunger and poverty perpetuate crime Picture Quote #1

Coming up in the Bay Area and being African American in a city that has a history of complex issues of violent crime, interaction with the police is always intense.

White-collar crime has been marketed - billions of dollars have been put in to have us be bored by it 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

I think it’s good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent Picture Quote #1

Some on the Left can be very selective about the kinds of violence they oppose. For some of them, gun violence is a crime to be decried - unless it is committed by an ‘aggrieved’ victim against what they consider a corrupt institution Picture Quote #1

Potato-chip news’ is news that’s repetitive, requires little effort to absorb, and is consumable in massive quantities: true crime, natural disasters, political punditry, celebrity gossip, sports gossip, or endless photographs of beautiful houses, food, or clothes Picture Quote #1
