Famous quotes containing the words box, office and/or performance:
“All your lovely words are spoken.
Once the ivory box is broken,
Beats the golden bird no more.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on resolution and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face—so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
