John D. MacDonald Quotes

The Long Lavender Look (1970)

From the Travis McGee Series

• The only thing that prisons demonstrably cure is heterosexuality.
• If I operate within a system where juvenile court cannot touch rich kids, where the innocent -- meaning those presumed innocent because they have not yet been tried -- are jailed with the guilty when they can't raise bail, where there are two kinds of law, one for blacks and one for whites; then if I go by the book, I am a kind of Judas goat, and if I bend the rules to improve -- on my terms -- the structure of local law, I am running my own police state. I'd better get of it because I can't live with either solution.
