It is better to live a life of infamy, than a life of obscurity.

Holden

Amika: Three hours on that floor. You took away my childhood. The least you can do is listen to what I wrote in my diary.
Darryl: Oh, you're gonna read to me now?
Amika: Yes. And after you've heard it, maybe then you can tell me whether you ever raped a Black girl.

Anne: My mother thinks I'm napping. She's afraid I'll go to see Lydia.
Olivia: Do you want to see Lydia?
Anne: Lydia's a good person, even if she's... um...
Olivia: Homosexual? You're a good person too.
Anne: Man's law and God's law say two different things and I don't know which to believe.
Olivia: Maybe you don't need to know. You just need to tell the truth.
Anne: About my feelings for Lydia or what Lucas did to me?
Olivia: You know, Anne, I believe in God too. I don't know what He has planned for you or me or anybody. But I do know one thing. What Lucas did to you was wrong.

Rollins: What are the odds on that?
Fin: (Meaningful look)
Rollins: It's just an expression.

Singer: Is she okay?
Manager: What's a party without a few regrets?

Nothing as bad as white people congratulating themselves.

Fin

Guy: I don't like tourists.
Rollins: What does that mean?
Guy: Honey, he's so far in the closet he's gone past Narnia.

Benson: You took a child against her will and transported her to New York City. That's a Class B Felony in this state.
Phelps: You're going to be sorry.
Benson: Give him his phone call and a baloney sandwich.

Fin: So McGrath put a spy in the squad room?
Benson: Fin. Play nice. I checked around and rumor has it that he's good.
Fin: Rumor is he's the one who started that rumor.

Velasco: Loyalty is everything with the cartel. People don't get out.
Churlish: You did.
Velasco: I came this close.
Churlish: Close to what?
Velasco: Dying. Chili should have added me to his body count that night.

"She said, 'my next bottom isn't on this Earth,' and that kind of got through to me."

Tensley Evans

Carisi: Hey. We have two raped 18-year-olds and a murder. We have to rule out certain things, like were they involved in any criminal activity. Drugs, gangs, anything like that. I didn't say anything about terrorism.
Man: I'm so sick of the harassment. Even the Hispanics hate us know. They blame us for the raids, the deportations. Is it our fault they don't have proper papers?

Law & Order: SVU Quotes

Benson: Thank you for coming forward.
Woman: What this company is doing, the way it treats women pilots, is despicable. But what you're doing... it's about damn time.

We have two options. One is bad. The other is worse. Either we missed one or... Yeats has a copycat.
