Famous quotes containing the word chairs:

    “Behind her was confusion in the room,
    Of chairs turned upside down to sit like people
    In other chairs, and something, come to look,
    For every room a house has parlor, bedroom,
    And dining room thrown pell-mell in the kitchen.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “My verse
    has brought me
    no roubles to spare:
    no craftsmen have made
    mahogany chairs for my house.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    “I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
