The ultimate crime-based society is one where everyone is criminal and no one is aware of the fact.

“‘Love at first sight,’ some say, misnaming
Discovery of twinned helplessness
Against the huge tug of procreation.

But friendship at first sight? This also
Catches fiercely at the surprised heart
So that the cheek blanches and then blushes.”

Robert Graves
