You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

What crime was that?
That's so 19th century.
Nowadays one doesn't know if one has committed a crime. We're all crimists.
In these days, My Friend, one commits some crime each day one wakes up and goes a one’s business. Whether one is arrested for said crime does not matter, what matters is that one is subject to arrest should the powers to be choose.
