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

    “I have the high Satisfaction of beholding all Nature with an unprejudiced Eye.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
