Famous quotes containing the words household, office and/or appliance:

    Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

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

    Diseases desperate grown
    By desperate appliance are relieved,
    Or not at all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
