“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable, and all the laws on the statutes can only increase, but never do away with, crime.”
“The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.”
“A man who has no excuse for crime, is indeed defenceless!”
“Qui non vetat peccare, cum possit, jubet.”
“The chief problem in any community cursed with crime is not the punishment of the criminal, but the preventing of the young from being trained to crime.”

"Illegal" es una canción grabada por la cantautora colombiana Shakira para su séptimo álbum de estudio, Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005). Fue escrita y producida por Shakira y Lester Mendez y cuenta con la participación del guitarrista mexicano-estadounidense Carlos Santana. Epic Records lanzó la canción como el segundo y último sencillo de la edición estándar del álbum el 28 de agosto de 2006, tras el lanzamiento de "Hips Don't Lie". "Illegal" es una balada pop y country con letras que tratan sobre el luto por un amante del pasado, acompañada de una interpretación vocal discreta de Shakira y un riff de guitarra eléctrica de Santana a lo largo de toda la canción. Recibió reseñas mixtas de los críticos musicales, quienes la compararon con el material de Alanis Morissette y tuvieron opiniones divididas respecto a la contribución de Santana.
