Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
George Lucas
Image
The tolerance of wrong dulls our sense of its injustice. Men may become accustomed to theft, murder, even to slavery - that sum of all villainies - so they see no injustice in it, yet that which is unjust is unjust still.
Henry George
Image
No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I am ... troubled and grieved when men argue that many women want to be raped and that it does not bother them at all to be raped by men even when they verbally protest. It would be hard to believe that such great villainy is actually pleasant for them.
Christine de Pizan
Image
It turns out that one can perpetrate all manner of heinous villainy under a cloak of courtesy and good cheer. . .a man will forfeit all sensible self-interest if he finds you affable enough to share your company over a flagon of ale.
Christopher Moore
Image
Villainy that is vigilant will be an overmatch for virtue, if she slumber at her post.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
A successful villain should have all these things at his or her villainous fingertips, or else give up villainy altogether and try to lead a life of decency, integrity, and kindness, which is much more challenging and noble, if not always quite as exciting.
Daniel Handler
Image
All evil and good is petty before Nature. Personally, we take comfort from this, that there is a universe to admire that cannot be twisted to villainy or good, but which simply is.
Vernor Vinge
Image
The villany you teach me I shall execute and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
William Shakespeare
Image
I'm interested in villainy.
Jonathan Frid
Image
Nobody can be forced to commit an act of villainy. You can't push anybody into the mud people always step into it themselves.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Image
Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Lee Van Cleef
Image
We [Americans] move about the world arrogantly, calling wars when we want, overthrowing governments when we want. There is a price to be paid for it -- look at 9/11. [That] wasn't just bin Laden. Bin Laden didn't come from the abstract. He came from somewhere, and if you look where ... you'll see America's hand of villainy.
Harry Belafonte
Image
All the great villainies of history, from the murder of Abel onward, have been perpetrated by sober men, chiefly by Teetotalers.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Were the life of man prolonged, he would become such a proficient in villainy, that it would become necessary again to drown or to burn the world. Earth would become an hell for future rewards when put off to a great distance, would cease to encourage, and future punishments to alarm.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy.
Samuel Johnson
