State Officials

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or officials:

“Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)

“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.”
