From _Against Our Will_, by Susan Brownmiller; Simon and Schuster, 1975.

          "...I paid a visit to my local precinct in Greenwich Village
     and asked a sergeant to show me some rape statistics.  He politely
     obliged.  That month there had been thirty-five rape complaints,
     an advance of ten over the same month for the previous year.  The
     precinct had made two arrests.
          "`Not a very impressive record,' I offered.
          "`Don't worry about it,' the sergeant assured me.  `You know
     what these complaints represent?'
          "`What do they represent?' I asked.
          "`Prostitutes who didn't get their money,' he said firmly,
     closing the book."


From _The Name of the Rose_, by Umberto Eco; Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983.

          "`...He who laughs does not believe in what he laughs at, but
     neither does he hate it.  Therefore, laughing at evil means not
     preparing oneself to combat it, and laughing at good means denying
     the power through which good is self-propagating.'"
