Famous quotes containing the words box and/or office:
“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”

With hairy bellies pass between
The staminate and pistillate,
Blest office of the epicene.”
