Line 63:
* Opulence is always the result of theft, if not committed by the actual possessor, then by his predecessor.
** [[Saint Jerome]], in ''[[The Cry for Justice]]'' (1915), p. 397
* I am amazed that (as far as I know) no one has ever treated the idea of a "master-thief," an idea that certainly would lend itself very well to dramatic treatment. We cannot help noting that almost every country has had the idea of such a thief, that an ideal of a thief has hovered before all of them.... We must, of course, imagine him [the master-thief] well-equipped with a very good sense of humor, which can very well be reconciled with his discontent, which is precisely what will make him satirical and — even though he must not be thought of as always being discontented — can still be readily reconciled with his lowly origin at the grassroot level of the nation.
** [[Soren Kierkegaard]] Journals and Letters 1 A 11-13
* If something is stolen from you, don't go to the police. They're not interested. Don't go to a psychologist either, because he's interested in only one thing: that it was really you who did the stealing.
