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)

    No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
