Famous quotes containing the words box and/or office:
“I hate love. Hate being in love. I never want it to happen to me again.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
“The House of Lords, architecturally, is a magnificent room, and the dignity, quiet, and repose of the scene made me unwillingly acknowledge that the Senate of the United States might possibly improve its manners. Perhaps in our desire for simplicity, absence of title, or badge of office we may have thrown over too much.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
