Quote: On Writers committing Murder

“It’s a queer thing to know that a book-writer can imprison folks without a warrant and even kill them yet go unpunished.” – Told to Elbert Hubbard by Mr. Hawkins, a London Police Officer in the late 1800’s talking about Charles Dickens after examining the building where Dicken’s father was kept in debtor’s prison and later appeared in his writing.
