I was reading the graphic novel
Watchmen and the phrase "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" came up a lot. After looking into it, I found out this means "Who watches the Watchmen?" This slogan has a lot to do with the deeper meaning of the story, aside from just the title. The novel revolves around superheroes being outlawed, and this motto helps portray that concept. Criminals are arrested for breaking the law while the heroes are allowed to break laws as much as they want in order to justify their means.
