Quotes About Criminals

Tutte le domande continuano a rimanere senza risposta, pensò. Passo la mia vita a cercare di assicurare alla giustizia dei criminali che hanno commesso una serie di reati. Ogni tanto ci riesco, ma il più delle volte fallisco. Ma quando arriverò alla fine della mia vita dovrò constatare di avere fallito in quella che è la più importante delle ricerche. Quel mistero stravagante che è la vita rimarrà irrisolto.
~ Henning Mankell

What I lack is proof to the contrary, sir. I ain't seen it yet, in all my years. What do you think makes criminals in the first place?' 'Stupidity and greed.' 'Besides those? I'll tell you.

It's deciding to do whatever it takes to sneak through, to win what you can for yourself.
