Famous quotes containing the words commanding, officer and/or roll:

    “But wise men pierce this rotten diction and fasten words again to visible things; so that picturesque language is at once a commanding certificate that he who employs it, is a man in alliance with truth and God.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That’s all right, sir. A commanding officer doesn’t need brains, just a good, loud voice.”
    —Cyril Hume, and Fred McLeod Wilcox. Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon)

    “Rock & roll doesn’t necessarily mean a band. It doesn’t mean a singer, and it doesn’t mean a lyric, really.... It’s that question of trying to be immortal.”
    —Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
