The boys with their feet on the desks know that the easiest murder case in the world to break is the one somebody tried to get ver...y cute with; the one that really bothers them is the murder somebody only thought of two minutes before he pulled it off.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
No man, said Birkin, cuts another man's throat unless he wants to cut it, and unless the other man wants it cutting. This is a com...plete truth. It takes two people to make a murder: a murderer and a murderee.... And a man who is murderable is a man who has in a profound if hidden lust desires to be murdered.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I wonder where you got your statistics when you say that Theirs executed more people than did the Terreur? I object to this kind o...f excuse for two reasons. Although from a Christian's or a mathematician's point of view a thousand people killed in battle a hundred years ago equal a thousand people killed in a battle of today, historically the first definition is "slaughter" and the second "some casualties." Secondly: one cannot compare the slapdash suppression, however abominable, of a revolt with the thorough application of a system of murder.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Murder's never perfect. Always comes apart sooner or later. And when two people are involved, it's usually sooner.... Sometime, so...mewhere, they've got to meet. Their emotions are all kicked up. Whether it's love or hate doesn't matter. They can't keep away from each other. They may think it's twice as safe because there are two of them. But it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder! And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops.

The fact is that love is of two kinds--one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to whi...ch the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We fully believed, so soon as we saw that woman's suffrage was right, every one would soon see the same thing, and that in a year ...or two, at farthest, it would be granted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
