“The reason some crime writers have a chip on their shoulder about the label is because their good books are shelved beside books about nuns and birdwatchers and cats who solve crimes. Overseas, my books are reviewed alongside those of authors like Robert Stone and Don DeLillo, and I have to live and die by that comparison. They don't ghettoize crime writers in other countries, and of course they shouldn't.” BookCountryReasonDiesCoursesCrimeStonesCatSolveShouldersLabelsComparisonOther CountriesChipsGood BookNun Author:George Pelecanos

“A totally different attitude is needed: the attitude of love. Christ brings love to the world. He destroys law, the very basis of it. That was his crime; that's why he was crucified - because he was destroying the whole basis of this criminal society; he was destroying the whole foundation rock of this criminal world, the world of wars, and violence, and aggression. He gave a totally new foundation stone.” WorldDifferentWarWholeLawChristAttitudeViolenceRocksCrimeNeededStonesBasesFoundationCriminalsDestroyingAggressionDifferent AttitudeAttitude Of Love Author:Rajneesh
