Thomas De Quincey said, "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. …Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time."
