Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.

Summary

This quote implies that when someone commits a crime, the consequences are severe and transparent. It suggests that their actions are not easily hidden or forgotten, as if the earth itself becomes fragile and easily shattered like glass under the weight of their wrongdoing. It serves as a warning that criminal behavior will ultimately be exposed and can have lasting negative impacts on the individual and the world around them.
