You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank as to praise him for playing by the rules.

Bobby Jones

What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?

Bertolt Brecht

You might as well ask why a middle-aged man with no criminal record might put a paper bag over his head and rob a bank. I acted out of personal desperation.

Aldrich Ames

I can't think of any bank robbery comedy where it's about two normal guys. It's kind of like Superbad meets Heat, which is a cool combo, and it's just fun doing a normal guy that's robbing a bank.

Aziz Ansari

If you keep the situations real, the characters' behavior will be real and honest, too. If they're suddenly robbing a bank and exchanging snappy dialogue, well, I wouldn't even know how to write that.

Nicole Holofcener

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Thomas de Quincey

I never, in all my life, had anything whatever to do with robbing any bank in the state of Missouri.

Cole Younger

I always knew I'd accomplish something very special - like robbing a bank perhaps.

Mickey Rourke

Plot is just not my gift. I'm fascinated with complex characters, and that doesn't mix well with complex plots. And by the way, when the plot is simple, you can move one piece around and make it feel fresh. Hell or High Water's a good example: I don't tell you why the brothers are robbing the bank.

Taylor Sheridan

I would never commit the positively anti-social action of robbing a bank, or worse still, working in one.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Admittedly, having a bit of disposable cash in the bank can give you a sense of Buddhistic calm, and despite the fallacy involved, that's probably preferable to the bonafide adventure of robbing a bank. A better alternative, however, is to learn to be at peace even when common sense (a highly overrated virtue) would lead you to believe that someone in your situation ought to feel threatened and insecure.

Tom Robbins

Under pressure, people admit to murder, setting fire to the village church or robbing a bank, but never to being bores.

Elsa Maxwell

Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase.

Edgar Wright

He's most likely robbing the bank as a paycheck on the world for winning the ugliness prize at his local fete three years running.

Markus Zusak

To honor with hymns and panegyrics those who are still alive is not safe; a man should run his course and make a fair ending, and then we will praise him; and let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
