Famous quotes containing the word members:

    “A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
    —Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    “For let our finger ache, and it endues
    Our other healthful members even to a sense
    Of pain.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
