Behind the Green Lights Quotes

“I was no saint. But I was told that I was a good cop.”
― Cornelius Willemse, Behind the Green Lights

“The 'Third Degree' is not without its humorous moments.”
― Cornelius Willemse, Behind the Green Lights

“Detectives and policemen, as a class, are athletic men. They like games and sports and their minds and inclinations are healthy. They make mistakes, of course, but they seldom beat a man who doesn't deserve it. I'll admit that when a hold-up mob is brought into court with faces bandaged, it can be assumed that all of them didn't fall down stairs or roll off a cell bunk, accidentally. But neither does the hold-up man or the gun pull his trigger accidentally.”
― Cornelius Willemse, Behind the Green Lights
