Famous quotes containing the words offices and/or held:

“The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“Even he was abashed
and I laughed
and held him close
when he went for the knot
of my underclothes
and I’d already untied it.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
