I’ve seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie (1939)
Why did I rob banks? Because I enjoyed it. I loved it. I was more alive when I was inside a bank, robbing it, than at any other time in my life. I enjoyed everything about it, so much that one or two weeks later I’d be out looking for the next job. But to me the money was the chips, that’s all.
Willie Sutton (1976)
