Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    ““I do not like him.”MWhy?—”I am no match for him.”MHas a person ever answered in this way?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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)
