Act of Violence (1948)

Phyllis Thaxter: Ann

Quotes 

• Ann : Are you the law? What makes you think you're so much better than he is? Whatever he done, he's tried to make up for it. He's lived a decent, useful life ever since. But, what have you done? What are you gonna prove anyway - with your vengeance, your violence? You aren't gonna bring those men back. You're just gonna smash a few more lives.

• Ann : Do you think you can kill a man in cold blood and just forget it? Don't you know what that means? You'll have to live with hate day and night, for the rest of your life. And look what it's done to you already.
