I've often been asked; how do you rob a bank? The answer to that is that there is no instruction book. The fact is you never know what will happen when you step through the door of a bank and declare yourself. Certainly, you can work hard on preparations; have everything organised from vehicles to weapons and set out the getaway, but there are no set rules. ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
No one was expecting the six-man team of elite SAS officers to storm the prison, but that is exactly what they did do. Hurling stun grenade and tear gas canisters, they entered the jail through a skylight before freeing the terrified prison warder. ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
As equally as one may use size, the cunning James Crosbie was once classified as the most dangerous man in Scotland, notorious for his daring bank robberies and escaping on a bicycle. He was the criminal mastermind behind many successful crimes carried out throughout the UK. ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
Aberdeenshire's Peterhead jail housed the hardest, badest, meanest motherfucker prisoners in the Scottish prison system. So no one was surprised when the pressure pot jail finally erupted in to violence that has not been seen or equalled since. ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
I believe the most degrading thing in the world is to be treated worse than a starving dog by five growling, muscle-bound thugs, better known as screws! ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
I can't remember exactly when I started to steal, but I do remember being aware of the fact that if I wanted to enjoy myself and be popular, money was the way to do it. ~ Stephen Richards
Scottish Crime quotes by Stephen Richards
Scottish nationalism has grown since we entered the European Union. ~ Michael Gove
Scottish Crime quotes by Michael Gove
Whenever Elliot Norther's wife was nervous she baked. With the murder of Harriet Mason, her husband's close colleague at the Faculty, she had been unable to resist a couple of Victoria sponges. During the frenzied press speculation about the identity of the murderer, a Dundee cake had appeared, followed swiftly by a Battenberg and a Lemon Drizzle. Since news of the Wildencrust murder broke, the kitchen, dining room and study had come to resemble the storerooms of an industrial bakery, every surface heaving with the weight of sponge and cream. Yesterday, having at last been overwhelmed by the fear and rumour that swept the town, she had taken herself off to her mother's house in Hampstead, leaving her husband to soldier on alone. When he had last seen his wife, Elliot Norther noticed that she had been putting the finishing touches to an impressive, triple-tiered wedding cake, beating a batch of royal icing into a sickly paste. ~ Robert Clear
Scottish Crime quotes by Robert Clear
When John Knox went upstairs to plead with God for Scotland, it was the greatest event in Scottish history. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Scottish Crime quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The poetic side of me is Scottish. ~ Annie Lennox
Scottish Crime quotes by Annie Lennox
The architecture of the Colisseum and other places of Roman entertainment are difficult to judge without recalling what purpose they served. It was here that gladiators fought to the death; that prisoners of war, convicts and Christians were devoured by as many as 5,000 wild beasts at a time; and that voctims were crucified or burned alive for the entertainment of Roman civilization. When the Romans screamed for ever more blood, artificial lakes were dug and naval battles of as many as 19,000 gladiators were staged until the water turned red with blood. The only emperors who did not throw Christians to the lions were the Christian emperors: They threw pagans to the lions with the same gusto and for the same crime-having a different religion. ~ Petr Beckmann
Scottish Crime quotes by Petr Beckmann
I'm going to make you feel so good," I swore to her, "that you're going to not just scream my name, but forget yours. ~ Shay Savage
Scottish Crime quotes by Shay Savage
Nothing that isn't a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency. ~ Joseph Addison
Scottish Crime quotes by Joseph Addison
Fantasy works inwards upon its author, blurring the boundary between the visioned and the actual, and associating itself ever moreclosely with the Ego, so that the child who has fantasied himself a murderer ends by becoming a Loeb or a Leopold. The creative Imagination works outwards, steadily increasing the gap between the visioned and the actual, till this becomes the great gulf fixed between art and nature. Few writers of crime-stories become murderers
if any do, it is not the result of identifying themselves with their murderous heroes. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Scottish Crime quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
The city was bigger than its buildings, bigger than its inhabitants too. It had its own nuances. It accepted whatever came its way, the crime and the violence and the little shocks of good that crawled out from underneath the everyday. ~ Colum McCann
Scottish Crime quotes by Colum McCann
I don't have to ask to know that something bad happened in your past."
"Because I doona smile?"
Her smile was sad when her gaze met his. "It's your eyes. Your view of the world is colored."
"As is yours. ~ Donna Grant
Scottish Crime quotes by Donna Grant
There is no doubt that Putin is responsible for this crime, whether or not he gave the order to commit the murder [of Boris Nemtsov] himself. Putin created the conditions and atmosphere that have made this kind of thing possible. ~ Garry Kasparov
Scottish Crime quotes by Garry Kasparov
People who lost their mother should be careful about committing crime, because probably no one else is praying to save you. ~ Amit Kalantri
Scottish Crime quotes by Amit Kalantri
Most curable sickness can now be diagnosed and treated by laymen. People find it so difficult to accept this statement because the complexity of medical ritual has hidden from them the simplicity of its basic procedures. It took the example of
the barefoot doctor in China to show how modern practice by simple workers in their spare time could, in three years,
catapult health care in China to levels unparalleled elsewhere. In most other countries health care by laymen is considered a
crime. A seventeen-year-old friend of mine was recently tried for having treated some 130 of her high-school colleagues for
VD. She was acquitted on a technicality by the judge when expert counsel compared her performance with that of the U.S. Health Service. Nowhere in the U.S.A. can her achievement be considered "standard," because she succeeded in making retests on all her patients six weeks after their first treatment. Progress should mean growing competence in self-care rather than growing dependence. 5 ~ Ivan Illich
Scottish Crime quotes by Ivan Illich
People give up. People settle. People persevere. And you can do all three if you're smart enough. ~ S.A. Tawks
Scottish Crime quotes by S.A. Tawks
What do you mean by sound government?'
Good public order, no corruption in high places, freedom from fear and war and crime, a reasonably equitable distribution of wealth and resources, concern for the individual life.'
Then we haven't got sound government. ~ P.D. James
Scottish Crime quotes by P.D. James
Powerless to resist his advances, Jane's knees gave way as he crushed his mouth over hers. This wasn't a deep, exploring, sultry kiss. This was a claiming, fervent joining of the mouths that screamed, I need more of you. Ignited by a bone-melting fire that spread through her blood, she cupped his face with her hands and returned his ardent kisses whilst he carried her to the bedchamber. ~ Amy Jarecki
Scottish Crime quotes by Amy Jarecki
The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life ... The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful. The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber ... Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful 'sovereign,' on account of the 'protection' he affords you. ~ Lysander Spooner
Scottish Crime quotes by Lysander Spooner
[L]et us imagine a mirror image of what is happening today. What if millions of white Americans were pouring across the border into Mexico, taking over parts of cities, speaking English rather than Spanish, celebrating the Fourth of July rather than Cinco de Mayo, sleeping 20 to a house, demanding bilingual instruction and welfare for immigrants, opposing border control, and demanding ballots in English? What if, besides this, they had high rates of crime, poverty, and illegitimacy? Can we imagine the Mexicans rejoicing in their newfound diversity?
And yet, that is what Americans are asked to do. For whites to celebrate diversity is to celebrate their own declining numbers and influence, and the transformation of their society. For every other group, to celebrate diversity is to celebrate increasing numbers and influence. Which is a real celebration and which is self-deception?
Whites - but only whites - must never take pride in their own people. Only whites must pretend they do not prefer to associate with people like themselves. Only whites must pretend to be happy to give up their neighborhoods, their institutions, and their country to people unlike themselves. Only whites must always act as individuals and never as members of a group that promotes shared interests.
Racial identity comes naturally to all non-white groups. It comes naturally because it is good, normal, and healthy to feel kinship for people like oneself. Despite the fashionable view that race ~ Jared Taylor
Scottish Crime quotes by Jared Taylor
Stained upon my hands, the blood of innocents brands my soul with such a crime forgiveness gapes appalled. ~ Michael J. Sullivan
Scottish Crime quotes by Michael J. Sullivan
The brutality that can take place in a crime film heightens the tenderness that can also be there. ~ Geoffrey S. Fletcher
Scottish Crime quotes by Geoffrey S. Fletcher
Ah, I am the judge of dreams, and you are the judge of love. Well, I find you guilty of dreaming good dreams, and sentence you to a lifetime of working and suffering for the sake of your dreams. I only hope that someday you won't declare me innocent of the crime of loving you. ~ Orson Scott Card
Scottish Crime quotes by Orson Scott Card
Self-hate is a form of mental slavery that results in poverty, ignorance, and crime. ~ Susan L. Taylor
Scottish Crime quotes by Susan L. Taylor
Obsessing on evil is boring. Rousing fear is a hackneyed shtick. Wallowing is despair is a bad habit. Indulging in cynicism is akin to committing a copycat crime. ~ Rob Brezsny
Scottish Crime quotes by Rob Brezsny
Abortion is not the lesser of two evils. It is a crime. It is to throw someone out in order to save another. ~ Pope Francis
Scottish Crime quotes by Pope Francis
What importance can we attach to the things of this world? Friendship? It disappears when the one who is liked comes to grief, or the one who likes becomes powerful. Love? it is deceived, fleeting, or guilty. Fame? You share it with mediocrity or crime. Fortune? Could that frivolity be counted a blessing? All that remains are those so-called happy days that flow past unnoticed in the obscurity of domestic cares, leaving man with the desire neither to lose his life nor to begin it over. ~ Francois-Rene De Chateaubriand
Scottish Crime quotes by Francois-Rene De Chateaubriand
I like two men, two guns that kind of thing, I don't do subtle. ~ C.S. Boag
Scottish Crime quotes by C.S. Boag
Though the continued march of intellect and education have nearly obliterated from the mind of the Scots a belief in the marvelous, still a love of the supernatural lingers among the more mountainous districts of the northern kingdom; for 'the Schoolmaster' finds it no easy task, even when aided by all the light of science, to uproot the prejudices of more than two thousand years. ("The Phantom Regiment") ~ James Grant
Scottish Crime quotes by James Grant
Younger writers are always looking for "blurbs," one of the few words that sounds exactly as awful as the crime it's describing. ~ Brian K. Vaughan
Scottish Crime quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
She was little better than a banshee with a sidearm. ~ Kerrigan Byrne
Scottish Crime quotes by Kerrigan Byrne
For isn't it odd that the only language I have in which to speak of this crime is the language of the criminal who committed the crime? ~ Jamaica Kincaid
Scottish Crime quotes by Jamaica Kincaid
In traditional crime fiction every detective with any self-respect has an unfailing nose for when people are lying. It's bullshit! Human nature is a vast impenetrable forest which no one can know in its entirety. Not even a mother knows her child's deepest secrets. ~ Jo Nesbo
Scottish Crime quotes by Jo Nesbo
We live in a world in which we are able to communicate very quickly in many different ways, and yet we find communicating more difficult than ever. When in fact we need communication more urgently than ever, because the enemies that threaten us are universal: drugs, illiteracy and crime. We have to fight against them together. ~ Tom Cruise
Scottish Crime quotes by Tom Cruise
Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month's rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Scottish Crime quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
I have so much more t'teach ye." He chuckled, kissing her fully on the mouth, holding her little body in his arms.
"More?" Her eyes lit up.
"Aye, much, much more," he agreed, eyes alight. "Come wit' me, lass. Let's get cleaned up so we can get dirty again. ~ Selena Kitt
Scottish Crime quotes by Selena Kitt
John Knox's dying words were, 'Lord, grant true pastors to Thy kirk.' Such was the last prayer of a great man without whom there would have been no America, no Puritans, no Pilgrims, no Scottish covenanters, no Presbyterians, no Patrick Henry, no Samuel Adams, no George Washington. Could it have been so simple? John Knox's agenda was far from political. All he wanted were more pastors and elders. This is our agenda. Lord grant true pastors to Thy church! ~ Kevin Swanson
Scottish Crime quotes by Kevin Swanson
Sharing music is not a crime. It shouldn't be. There should be a deeper meaning to making music than just selling downloads. ~ Dave Grohl
Scottish Crime quotes by Dave Grohl
When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live. ~ Sarah Kendzior
Scottish Crime quotes by Sarah Kendzior
Nothing is uglier than the sinner, nothing so leprous or fetid; the scar of his crimes is still raw, and he stinks like the cave of Hell. ~ Prudentius
Scottish Crime quotes by Prudentius
I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say, 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say, 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect, and you have to be on guard. ~ Luke Scott
