Police Quotes (page 8)

There are people that are convinced of the wickedness both of armies and of police forces, but who are nevertheless much more intolerant and inquisitorial in outlook than the normal person who believes that it is necessary to use your violence in certain circumstances. George Orwell
I was shocked to read that Lord Ferrers, a Home Office minister, when booked for speeding and presented with a 40 fixed penalty with three penalty points, them wrote to the Suffolk police to thank them for catching him. There is a sickness in England. If his lordship appreciates punishment so much, it was unkind just to fine him. He should have been caned, with his trousers down, by the side of the road. Auberon Waugh
Neither the state guards nor the municipal police stopped me. What they saw going by was no longer a man but the curious product of misfortune, something to which laws could not be applied. I had exceeded the bounds of indecency. Jean Genet
John Waters quote: "I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the..."
I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the police force,' Esther used to rage to anyone who would listen. John Waters
When you’ve fallen from the sky, been abandoned by your friend, suffered police brutality, metamorphosed into a goat, lost your work as well as your wife, learned the power of hatred and regained human shape, what is there left to do but, as you would no doubt phrase it, demand your rights?

Ludwig Bemelmans quote: "It's always wonderful when something altogether wrong ends..."
It's always wonderful when something altogether wrong ends right, without the help of either religion or the police. Ludwig Bemelmans
We are accustomed to live in hopes of good weather, a good harvest, a nice love-affair, hopes of becoming rich or getting the office of chief of police, but I've never noticed anyone hoping to get wiser. We say to ourselves: it'll be better under a new tsar, and in two hundred years it'll still be better, and nobody tries to make this good time come tomorrow. On the whole, life gets more and more complex every day and moves on its own sweet will, and people get more and more stupid, and get... Anton Chekhov
The air was stifling, but he liked it because it was stifling city air, full of excitingly unpleasant smells, dangerous music, and the distant sound of warring police tribes. Douglas Adams
You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as the State. And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice. To the citizen or the police; We must love one another or die. W. H. Auden
Joe Orton quote: "Reading isn't an occupation we encourage among police..."
Reading isn't an occupation we encourage among police officers. We try to keep the paperwork down to a minimum. Joe Orton
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "But I was naturally suspicious; it comes from working too..."
But I was naturally suspicious; it comes from working too closely with the police for too long. Cynicism is so contagious. Laurell K. Hamilton
The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately. George Orwell
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "You have disgraced the name of Russia, madam!" shouted the..."
You have disgraced the name of Russia, madam!" shouted the general, "and there are police for that! Fyodor Dostoevsky
Socialism" is no more an evil word than "Christianity." Socialism no more prescribed Joseph Stalin and his secret police and shuttered churches than Christianity prescribed the Spanish Inquisition. Christianity and socialism alike, in fact, prescribe a society dedicated to the proposition that all men, women, and children are created equal and shall not starve. Kurt Vonnegut
