Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    Poor Desdemona! I am glad thy father’s dead.
    Thy match was mortal to him, and pure grief
    Shore his old thread in twain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)
