Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    “Lady Sondes’ match surprises, but does not offend me; had her
    first marriage been of affection, or had their been a grown-up
    daughter, I should not have forgiven her; but I consider
    everybody as having a right to marry once in their lives for
    love, if they can.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    “The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way.... In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.”
    —James Reston (b. 1909)
