Famous quotes containing the words company and/or officers:

    “In not having an appointment at Harvard, I’m in the company of a great many people whose work I admire tremendously, in particular women of color.”
    —Catharine MacKinnon (b. 1946)

    “You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
    —Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
