Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    “Should the conflagration climb,
    Run till all the sages know.
    We the great gazebo built,
    They convicted us of guilt;
    Bid me strike a match and blow.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbour to be governed, but he himself doesn’t want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
