Special Constable

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or constable:

“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“You are thought here to be the most senseless and fit man for the constable of the watch, therefore bear you the lantern.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
