Secretary Stevens

Famous quotes containing the words secretary and/or stevens:

    ... the wife of an executive would be a better wife had she been a secretary first. As a secretary, you learn to adjust to the boss’s moods. Many marriages would be happier if the wife would do that.
    Anne Bogan, U.S. executive secretary. As quoted in Working, book 1, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    By metaphor you paint
    A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
    A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
    To be served by men of ice.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
