Famous quotes containing the words high, offices and/or held:

    “An epic of worry rather than of high tragedy.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “Then moved my Fingers off
    As cautiously as Glass
    And held my ears, and like a Thief
    Fled gasping from the House—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
