Famous quotes containing the words house and/or officer:

    You made us in the House of Pain. You made us things. Not men, not beasts, part-man, part-beast: things.
    Waldemar Young, U.S. screenwriter. Erle C. Kenton. Sayer of the Law (Bela Lugosi)

    A true military officer is in one particular like a true monk. Not with more self-abnegation will the latter keep his vows of monastic obedience than the former his vows of allegiance to martial duty.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
