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

    “Norway, too, has noble prospects; and Lapland is remarkable for prodigious noble wild prospects. But, Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England!”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “you held me just as you must
    and of course we’re not married, we are a pair of scissors
    who come together to cut, without towels saying His. Hers.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
