Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or authority:
“The imperial votaress passed on,
In maiden meditation, fancy-free.”

“Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It’s very like being in close proximity to faecal matter, the faecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.”
