Summary

This quote suggests that a powerful metaphor has the potential to invoke significant influence or impact on people's thoughts and perspectives. By stating that even the police should "keep an eye on" a metaphor, it implies that metaphors possess the capacity to challenge or reshape societal norms, prompting a need for vigilance. Metaphors can act as vehicles for social and political critique, enabling individuals to express dissent and challenge existing power structures. Therefore, this quote serves as a reminder for everyone, including those in positions of authority, to pay attention to the potential implications and impact of metaphors in shaping our understanding of the world.
