Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:
“If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
