Famous quotes containing the words royal, air, force and/or police:

    Here was a royal fellowship of death.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is an air of last things, a brooding sense of impending annihilation, about so much deconstructive activity, in so many of its guises; it is not merely postmodernist but preapocalyptic.
    David Lehman (b. 1948)

    So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that’s something no police in the world can spot.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)
