Murder Quotes

“The carp was dead, killed, assassinated, murdered in the first, second and third degree. Limp, I fell into a chair, with my hands still unwashed reached for a cigarette, lighted it, and waited for the police to come and take me into custody.”
Alice B. Toklas, American writer (1877-1967)

Catherine Beecher
Miss Beecher's Domestic Receipt Book (1846)

Gertrude Stein
 

“All the great villainies of history, from the murder of Abel onward, have been perpetrated by sober men, chiefly by Teetotalers.”
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) American editor and critic.
 

"The parlour cars and Pullmans are packed also with scented assassins, salad-eaters who murder on milk."
W.H. Auden, Age of Anxiety (1947)
