“The basic creed of the gangster, and for that matter of any other type of criminal, is that whatever a man has is his only so long as he can keep it, and that the one who takes it away from him has not done anything wrong, but has merely demonstrated his smartness.”
― Herbert Asbury, The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld
