Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    “One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sun
    Ne’er saw her match since first the world begun.”
    —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)
