Quotes by J. Edgar Hoover  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There is something addictive about secrets.”
J. Edgar Hoover

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”
J. Edgar Hoover

“The cure for crime is not the electric chair, but the high chair.”
J. Edgar Hoover
