I like this quote:

He was greatly simple. He was simply great.

This was said about Sam Cowley, the most senior agent in the FBI to ever die in the line of duty. He was Mormon and was shot in a shoot out with "Baby Face Nelson" (or Lester Gillis) in the 1930's war on crime.
I just finished the book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the birth of the FBI, 1933-34. I really liked this book. The author asserts that the book is not imagined. That it is more like a report taken verbatim from FBI reports, the Karpis transcripts, and the memories of the participants. If you like history check it out. I picked it up in paperback at Costco for super cheap. It helped that Johnny Depp is on the cover--apparently it is a movie too--I havent seen it.
