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 乔治·巴塔耶

犯罪是人类的一个事实,仅仅是这个物种的一个事实,但它首先是秘密的一面,无法渗透和隐藏。犯罪是隐藏的,迄今为止,最可怕的事情是那些我们逃避不了的事情。
