Most investigators don't even know what the word means. You stop the cops from using informants and the only crimes they'd ever solve would be those by deranged postal workers who come to work once too often.
Andrew Vachss
Stealing to eat ain’t criminal—stealing to be rich is.
Andrew Vachss
Children know the truth: love is not an emotion, love is behavior.
