  1. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    There are people who resemble popular songs: they are sung for a time and then forgotten.
     
    [Il y a des gens qui ressemblent aux vaudevilles, qu’on ne chante qu’un certain temps.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶211 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

    (#topscore #tophit #topfit #topprestatie, etc.)

    In topcrimineel wordt top bedoeld als 'hoog in de rangen van'... Een hooggeplaatste crimineel dus. Maar dat klinkt ook positiever dan de bedoeling is...
