Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:

    O fallen angel,
    the companion within me,
    whisper something holy
    before you pinch me
    into the grave.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.
    Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
