Famous quotes containing the words box and/or office:
“A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
These lie about the room....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“If suffering brought wisdom, the dentist’s office would be full of luminous ideas.”
