Police Started

Famous quotes containing the words police and/or started:

“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)

“It’s a pity you didn’t know when you started your game of murder, that I was playing, too.”
—Robb White, and William Castle. Frederick Loren (Vincent Price)
