Famous quotes containing the words offices and/or held:

    “Whatever offices of life are performed by women of culture and refinement are thenceforth elevated; they cease to be mere servile toils, and become expressions of the ideas of superior beings.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    “You danced with me never saying a word.
    Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.
    The serpent, that mocker, woke up and pressed against me
    like a great god and we bent together
    like two lonely swans.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
