Famous quotes containing the word police:

    “Despite your best efforts, you could not invent a better police force for literature than criticism and the author’s own conscience.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    —A. Alvarez (b. 1929)

    “Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you.”
