Began Offering

Famous quotes containing the words began and/or offering:

    “I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “I am unbalanced but I am not mad with snow.
    I am mad the way young girls are mad,
    with an offering, an offering . . .
    I burn the way money burns.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
