Famous quotes containing the words table, cardinal and/or vowels:
“The salt person and blasted place
I furnish with the meat of a fable;
If the dead starve, their stomachs turn to tumble
An upright man in the antipodes
Or spray-based and rock-chested sea:
Over the past table I repeat this present grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
“Playing “bop” is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.”
—Duke Ellington (1899–1974)
