Famous quotes containing the words officers, killed, line and/or duty:

    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)

    They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I love them
    for finding what
    I can’t find,
    and for loving me
    for the line I wrote,
    and for forgetting it....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
