doomsday quotes

  • Even an attorney of modest talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game ofchance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.

    -Truman Capote
      In Cold Blood, ch.4.
