Famous quotes containing the words high, offices and/or held:

    “Brutes are deprived of the high advantages which we have; but they have some which we have not. They have not our hopes, but they are without our fears; they are subject like us to death, but without knowing it; even most of them are more attentive than we to self-preservation, and do not make so bad a use of their passions.”
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

    “Whatever offices of life are performed by women of culture and refinement are thenceforth elevated; they cease to be mere servile toils, and become expressions of the ideas of superior beings.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    “The wind had seized the tree and ha, and ha,
    It held the shivering, the shaken limbs,
    Then bathed its body in the leaping lake.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
