40 Famous Quotes from Criminal Minds Season 1

Criminal Minds is an American television show, airing on CBS, about an elite squad of FBI profilers that analyzes the country's most twisted criminal minds and anticipates their next move before they strike again. From the beginning, the CBS series set itself apart from other ripped-from-the-headlines procedurals (looking at you, Law & Order) by beginning and ending nearly every episode with famous quotes from historical, philosophical or cultural figures. The bookend quotes have been a great way to get fans into the fast-thinking mindsets of characters like Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau (A.J. Cook), while also bringing forward quotes that have served as guiding principles for years.
