Famous quotes containing the words ministry, interior, public and/or security:

    the eave-drops fall
    Heard only in the trances of the blast,
    Or if the secret ministry of frost

    Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.

    André Breton (1896–1966)

    George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.

    ... most Southerners of my parents’ era were raised to feel that it wasn’t respectable to be rich. We felt that all patriotic Southerners had lost everything in defense of the South, and sufficient time hadn’t elapsed for respectable rebuilding of financial security in a war- impoverished region.
