Special Inspector General

Famous quotes containing the words special, inspector and/or general:

    Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!
    Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)

    Chief Inspector Dreyfus: What about the maid?
    Inspector Clouseau: The maid?
    Chief Inspector Dreyfus: Was he jealous of her, too? He strangled her.
    Inspector Clouseau: It’s possible that his intended victim was a man and he made a mistake.
    Chief Inspector Dreyfus: A mistake? In a nudist camp?
    Inspector Clouseau: Nobody’s perfect.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming.
