Famous quotes containing the word police:

    “Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that’s something no police in the world can spot.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    “Scandal begins when the police put a stop to it.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
