Quote by Georges Bataille
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone

Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us. – Georges Bataille
