Top Crime Tv Quotes

Crime Tv Quotes By Charles Barkley

I'm so sick and tired of people in the media telling us that because of the war, sports aren't important. Fans need sports. We'd have only crime and war to watch on TV if not for sports. — Charles Barkley

Crime Tv Quotes By Swami Vivekananda

Have faith in yourselves, and stand up on that faith and be strong; that is what we need. — Swami Vivekananda

Crime Tv Quotes By Brian May

Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children. — Brian May

Crime Tv Quotes By Connie Fletcher

We get a lot of calls where the person is murdered at home, but is not found for a period of time. And so the animals have already started to take the body apart because they haven't been fed in that period. So your evidence is being chewed up by the family pet.
I tell you - Dogs are more loyal than cats. Cats will wait only a certain period of time and they'll start chewing on you. Dogs will wait a day or two before they just can't take the starving anymore. So, keep that in mind when choosing a pet.
You know how a cat just stares at you, maybe at the top of the TV, from across the room? That's because they're watching to see if you're gonna stop breathing. — Connie Fletcher

Crime Tv Quotes By Jeff Jarvis

When a TV network - not to pick on TV - devotes hours and hours to the salacious details of a crime of passion that affects none of our lives, is that advocacy? No. When an online site collects pictures of cute cats, is that advocacy? Hardly. When a newspaper devotes resources to covering football games, is that advocacy? Sorry, but no. — Jeff Jarvis

Crime Tv Quotes By Johnny B. Truant

Why do we look to everyone else to see what to do? Why don't we understand that they're all as lost and scared as we are? Why do we look at a random consensus, shaped by opinions and powers that drift like dunes, as an absolute truth? If "normal" could change tomorrow, why are we such slaves to it? And where has "normal" gotten us, anyway? We live in a society that can't stop pollution or environmental destruction, that can't raise educational standards, can't stay healthy and non-obese, can't balance a budget, has no sense of fiscal responsibility, is in an economic tailspin, and is rife with crime and murder and violence. Most people in this "normal" society of ours begin sitting still in a room for six to eight hours beginning in childhood. They continue that for twelve years and then begin sitting still in a different room for another forty years, at which point they hope to retire and sit still in a chair in front of the TV until they die. — Johnny B. Truant

Crime Tv Quotes By Jay Crownover

This is what I have to offer you Shaw and just like you let me be your first, I'm letting you be mine. — Jay Crownover

Crime Tv Quotes By Soren Kierkegaard

Be that self which one truly is. — Soren Kierkegaard

Crime Tv Quotes By Phoebe Tonkin

I rely on my iPad for on-the-go entertainment. I stock it with TV shows, like 'Parks and Recreation' and the British version of 'The Office.' I'm reading a Charles Manson biography on it too, since I'm weirdly into true crime. — Phoebe Tonkin

Crime Tv Quotes By Sophie Kinsella

We all fail to appreciate each day just how much we already possess. Light, air, freedom, the companionship of friends. — Sophie Kinsella

Crime Tv Quotes By Hank Phillippi Ryan

In crime fiction, I just don't write the parts that aren't a thriller and it's exactly the same in my TV reporting - I distill the essence of the story until it's only the jewels of the tale - and leave in only the most compelling and exciting parts. — Hank Phillippi Ryan

Crime Tv Quotes By Howard Zinn

Americans have been taught that their nation is civilized and humane. But, too often, U.S. actions have been uncivilized and inhumane. — Howard Zinn

Crime Tv Quotes By Brian Regan

How come they don't think you can handle a new story out of the blue on the TV news? They gotta make a little lame segue. "Hey, that's a big lotto jackpot! Speaking of lotto, there was a lot o' crime in the city today." — Brian Regan

Crime Tv Quotes By Julie White

I'd just love to have another TV series. I'll be the assistant D.A. on some crime show. — Julie White

Crime Tv Quotes By Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

Like poetry, in times of intense emotion the image returns to me. Like poetry, it stroked my soul and, by turns, lulled and stoked my senses. — Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

Crime Tv Quotes By Elliott Colla

Why is thinking about crime or imagining crime so goddamn central to pop culture? It doesn't matter whether it's American TV or British TV. And there's entire sections of bookstores devoted to crime. — Elliott Colla

Crime Tv Quotes By Maurice Gibb

I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily. — Maurice Gibb

Crime Tv Quotes By Ali Smith

But now we live in a time and in a culture when mystery tends to mean something more answerable, it means a crime novel, a thriller, a drama on TV, usually one where we'll find out - and where the whole point of reading it or watching it will be that we will find out - what happened. — Ali Smith

Crime Tv Quotes By David Sedaris

...but wasn't everyone in England supposed to be a detective? Wasn't every crime, no matter how complex, solved in a timely fashion by either a professional or a hobbyist? That's the impression you get from British books and TV shows. Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Hetty Wainthropp, Inspector George Gently: they come from every class and corner of the country. There's even Edith Pargeter's Brother Cadfael, a Benedictine monk who solved crimes in twelfth-century Shrewsbury. No surveillance cameras, no fingerprints, not even a telephone, and still he cracked every case that came his way. — David Sedaris

Crime Tv Quotes By Benjamin Franklin

Trouble Springs From Idleness. — Benjamin Franklin

Crime Tv Quotes By Douglas Coupland

Cellphones have, if nothing else, turned TV crime writers into lazy sloths. — Douglas Coupland

Crime Tv Quotes By Shawn Achor

For that matter, you might also try watching less TV in general; studies have shown that the less negative TV we watch, specifically violent media, the happier we are. This doesn't mean shutting ourselves off from the real world or ignoring problems. Psychologists have found that people who watch less TV are actually more accurate judges of life's risks and rewards than those who subject themselves to the tales of crime, tragedy, and death that appear night after night on the ten o'clock news.32 That's because these people are less likely to see sensationalized or one-sided sources of information, and thus see reality more clearly. Exercise — Shawn Achor

Crime Tv Quotes By Jeannine Atkins

One can slide between poor and rich, the difference as slight as between paper and parchment, one voice and a choir, arms hanging by sides and a hug. — Jeannine Atkins

Crime Tv Quotes By Hugh Mackay

So, if falling crime rates coincide with the rise of violent video games and increasing violence on TV and at the cinema, should we conclude that media violence is causing the drop in crime rates? — Hugh Mackay

Crime Tv Quotes By Paul Zane Pilzer

In just the past century we have almost doubled the percentage of fat in our diets
from 20% in 1910 to about 35% today. — Paul Zane Pilzer

Crime Tv Quotes By Saira Viola

Reality Tv had become the preferred drug of choice for the George Clooney obsessed housewives strung out on empty promises and splintered dreams — Saira Viola

Crime Tv Quotes By Stephen Richards

Before Mags became a household name across Scotland, it was during the mid Nineties when she became an avid anti-paedophile campaigner against paedophiles on the Raploch Estate, attracting media attention, even appearing on Robert Kilroy-Silk's morning TV show. At the height of her anti-paedophilic crusade, she led a howling mob of protesters to a hostel near her home where a known paedophile was staying. — Stephen Richards

Crime Tv Quotes By James A. Michener

Luddites were those frenzied traditionalists of the early 19th century who toured [England] wrecking new weaving machines on the theory that if they were destroyed ... old jobs and old ways of life could be preserved ... At certain times in his life each man is tempted to become a Luddite, for there is always something he would like to go back to. But to be against all change-against change in the abstract-is folly. — James A. Michener

Crime Tv Quotes By Nathan Fillion

I'm the one who often makes the 'Murder, She Wrote' reference, and ABC hates that, they don't want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched 'Murder, She Wrote'. I think people have been trying to compare it to crime shows that are on right now, and all I can do is listen. I don't watch a lot of TV. — Nathan Fillion

Crime Tv Quotes By Tom Shales

You don't hear TV cops griping because they have to enforce some Draconian law that shouldn't be on the books in the first place, or lamenting vindictive excesses in sentencing. Hollywood, supposedly a frothing cauldron of liberalism, has always been conservative on crime. — Tom Shales

Crime Tv Quotes By Karen Chance

You gotta think it's a waste of - "
"Ray!" I glanced around, but there was nobody within earshot.
"Well, excuse me if I'm not used to buying condoms for aliens," he said more softly.
"They're not aliens."
"Well, they're not human. I mean, they could have anything under those tunics, you know? — Karen Chance

Crime Tv Quotes By Emily Thorne

Defence lawyers use the term "duress" to describe the use of force, coercion or psychological pressure exerted on a client in the commission of a crime. When duress is applied to the emotionally unstable the result can be as violent as it is unpredictable. — Emily Thorne

Crime Tv Quotes By Shawn Achor

Psychologists have found that people who watch less TV are actually more accurate judges of life's risks and rewards than those who subject themselves to the tales of crime, tragedy, and death that appear night after night on the ten o'clock news.32 — Shawn Achor

Crime Tv Quotes By Laura Resnick

The fact that I had killed a man was really putting a crimp in my love
life.
Well, okay, to be strictly accurate, I hadn't killed him. But I had
helped. And I had watched enough of the Emmy Award-winning cops-andlawyers
drama Crime and Punishment on TV to know that cops weren't very
understanding about that sort of thing. I had even auditioned for the
role of a murderess in a C&P episode the previous year, but I didn't get
the part. So, since I had never even played a killer, actually being one
now was something of a novelty. — Laura Resnick

Crime Tv Quotes By David Graeber

Why are we so confused about what police really do? The obvious reason is that in the popular culture of the last fifty years or so, police have become almost obsessive objects of imaginative identification in popular culture. It has come to the point that it's not at all unusual for a citizen in a contemporary industrialized democracy to spend several hours a day reading books, watching movies, or viewing TV shows that invite them to look at the world from a police point of view, and to vicariously participate in their exploits. And these imaginary police do, indeed, spend almost all of their time fighting violent crime, or dealing with its consequences. — David Graeber

Crime Tv Quotes By Donna Leon

I know you shouldn't spit in your own soup but I think most crime writing is like TV and doesn't make enormous demands on one's intellect. — Donna Leon

Crime Tv Quotes By Saira Viola

Was a combo of Sal Dali and Ronald McDonald. A fringe celeb wheeled out for Tv appearances. — Saira Viola

Crime Tv Quotes By Michelee Morgan Cabot

Crime growth cause in USA? TV ... Monkey see - monkey do. — Michelee Morgan Cabot

Crime Tv Quotes By Peter Capaldi

Crime is interesting. It's huge and fascinating, and it's what my business, TV and film, is largely based on. But the realities are tragic, and in crime drama you rarely see the pain of bereavement or any consequences. It's reduced to a chess game. — Peter Capaldi
