The solving of almost every crime mystery depends on something which seems, at first glance, to bear no relation whatever to the original crime.

Elsa Barker

Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs though, it's intimate and psychological, a mystery resist to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.

Barbara Ehrenreich

You have to be patient. Litigants are emotionally involved - they're suing or being sued, or they've been in an accident or they're charged (with a crime). They are not very objective about their situation.

Steven Pacey

The cost of solving the Comet mystery must be reckoned neither in money nor in manpower.

Winston Churchill

But, finally, I just realized a few years ago that this is where I belonged. I mean everything I had was invested here, emotionally and every other way. And the country had invested enormously in me.

Robert MacNeil

If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it....for me, every act of the art of solving a mystery.

Truman Capote

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.

Simon Sinek

I want to know what dark matter and dark energy are comprised of. They remain a mystery, a complete mystery. No one is any closer to solving the problem than when these two things were discovered.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Mysteries always have the potential for interesting connections between the elements. I'm also most interested in the relationship between the characters. As in 'Masterpiece,' I'm trying to create characters who not only are solving a mystery but are solving the riddle of their own personal relationships.

Elise Broach

I think any of us who have been involved in the mission of Iraq have developed a great deal of affection for the Iraqi people and are emotionally invested in what we think is a vital mission... So I think any of my contemporaries would welcome the opportunity to go back and make a contribution to this extraordinarily important mission.

H. R. McMaster

We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.

Thomas Menino

If I'm not invested emotionally, the artwork doesn't feel emotional.

Jeff Lemire

Mystery is in the morning, and mystery in the night, and the beauty of mystery is everywhere; but still the plain truth remains, that mouth and purse must be filled.

Herman Melville

I am always physically and emotionally invested in the characters I play.

Shweta Tripathi

I'm emotionally invested in every movie that I do, period, because you've got to make that commitment. You're spending a year, 18 months of your life doing it. I'm invested in all those kinds of pieces. Most of the films I've had in my career have never tested well. I got lucky that sometimes I got supported by studios - or, at least if not supported, tolerated.

Barry Levinson

I saw that crime pays, but I never got involved in crime.

Ving Rhames
