Morality and Ethics Quotes in Heist Society

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #7

Every good thief knows that the only job that matters is the next job. (26.7)

Thieves have pretty good work ethics, too, if we do say so ourselves. Like a model, freelance writer, or daytime soap star, their eyes are always on the next job.

Quote #8

[Arturo Taccone] was still a common criminal. But then again, Kat realized, so was she. (29.1-29.2)

What separates Kat from Arturo Taccone, morally speaking? How different are they, really?

Quote #9

Kat was thinking about Abiram Stein, whispering even if only for herself, "I know someone who has been looking for this." (32.60)

Even in the middle of an art heist, Kat has a strong moral center. She recognizes Two Boys Running Through a Field of Haystacks and instantly thinks of returning it to Mr. Stein, the man who lost it in World War II.
