White Officers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or officers:

“There is no word for time.
Today we will
not think to number another summer
or watch its white bird into the ground.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“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)
