Famous quotes containing the word ministry:
“The State has but one face for me: that of the police. To my eyes, all of the State’s ministries have this single face, and I cannot imagine the ministry of culture other than as the police of culture, with its prefect and commissioners.”

Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
