Hold Office

Famous quotes containing the words hold and/or office:

“You hold me up to the light in a way
I should never have expected, or suspected, perhaps
Because you always tell me I am you,
And right. The great spruces loom.
I am yours to die with, to desire.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”
