Kmt Secret Police

Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or police:

    Nor even thy virtues, tyrant, shall avail
    To save thy secret soul from nightly fears,
    From Cambria’s curse, from Cambria’s tears!’
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened to them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.
    A. Alvarez (b. 1929)
