Kidnapped is a 1917 American silent adventure film directed by Alan Crosland for Edison Studios. It was based on the 1886 novel Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. The film only included selected parts of the story, and reinforced the then-developing romanticisation of the Scottish Highlands.

“Society already understands that the criminal is not he who washes our dirty linen in public, but he who dirties the linen.”
“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.”
