Country Office

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or office:

“With liberty and pleasant weather, the simplest occupation, any unquestioned country mode of life which detains us in the open air, is alluring. The man who picks peas steadily for a living is more than respectable, he is even envied by his shop-worn neighbors. We are as happy as the birds when our Good Genius permits us to pursue any outdoor work, without a sense of dissipation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He [Robert Benchley] and I had an office so tiny that an inch smaller and it would have been adultery.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
