Crime Quotes

We get the worrywart, the hypochondriac, the money-grubbing miser, the intractable negotiator... Some would say certain of these refer to the stereotypical, or ‘stage’ Jew. But objectively speaking, the only crime in humor is an unfunny joke Picture Quote #1

It may sound surprising, but a joke and a crime novel work in very much the same way. The comedian/writer leads their audience along the garden path. The audience know what’s coming, or at least they think they do until they get hit from a direction they were not expecting Picture Quote #1

Non-Western immigrants, often Muslims, are over-represented in statistics of crime, of dependency on social benefits, that we have honour killings, that we have genital mutilation, that we have streets where women with headscarves and burqas are not the exception any more. And that it’s getting worse Picture Quote #1

You get rich through luck. You get rich through crime. You get rich through fulfilling the needs of another. You can be as greedy as you like. If you can’t do one of those three things, you ain’t going to get any money Picture Quote #1

What gives my books authenticity is that I actually do what it is I’m writing about. I think the fact that I am in the autopsy room, I go to the crime scene and I do work in the lab gives my books this flavor that otherwise they wouldn’t have Picture Quote #1

I had to ride my bike to and from their God damn plant way up north in the high-chemical crime district, and reachable only by riding on the shoulder of some major freeways. I could feel the years ticking off my life expectancy as the mile markers struggled by Picture Quote #1

It’s a phony issue. To pretend the death penalty is going to end crime in the United States is to fool people, to promote public ignorance Picture Quote #1

Presumptions of guilt or innocence may sometimes be strengthened or weakened by the place of birth and kind of education and associates a man has grown up with, and good character may at times interpose, and justly save, under suspicion, one who is accused of crime on slight circumstances Picture Quote #1

Ah, I am the judge of dreams, and you are the judge of love. Well, I find you guilty of dreaming good dreams, and sentence you to a lifetime of working and suffering for the sake of your dreams. I only hope that someday you won’t declare me innocent of the crime of loving you Picture Quote #1

$You can remain friends, even without EU membership. The PrÃ&fnof;Â¼m Convention, according to which data for combatting crime is exchanged, is a good example of international cooperation Picture Quote #1$

Any profession you engage in, no matter how profitable, unless it is truly helpful and good for others, is a crime against your soul, and the world Picture Quote #1

I’m not a good crime writer. I’m not good with plots... so I have to do something else Picture Quote #1

Under our scheme of government the waste of public money is a crime against the citizen Picture Quote #1

The policy of seeking values from human beings by means of force, when practiced by an individual, is called crime. When practiced by a government, it is called statism Picture Quote #1

One way to make sure crime doesn’t pay would be to let the government run it Picture Quote #1

In researching ‘The Luminaries,’ I did read quite a lot of 20th-century crime. My favourites out of that were James M. Cain, Dassiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Graham Greene and Patricia Highsmith Picture Quote #1

Sqwaak! from Fletcher, the environmental crime fighting parrot in The Big Belch graphic novel by Kay Wood Picture Quote #1

The most enduring stories in literature generally have some kind of crime at their center, whether it’s the bloody butchery of ‘Hamlet,’ the lecherous misanthropes of Dickens or the lone gunman from ‘The Great Gatsby.’ Picture Quote #1

But I also know that to ignore joy while it lasts, in favor of lamenting one’s fate, is a great crime Picture Quote #1

When a crime writer thinks up a delicious twist, it is a great moment. Time to relax and take the rest of the day off. I do think that it can be overdone, however Picture Quote #1

The crime against nature will never make any great progress in society unless people are prompted to it by some particular custom Picture Quote #1
