Famous quotes containing the word chair:
“Genghis Khan, in his usual jodhpurs accessorized with whip, straddled a canvas chair and gloated upon the fairyland he had built.

—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Don’t want no money from you Ethan, no money, Marty. Just a roof over old Mose head and a rocking chair by the fire, my own rocking chair by the fire.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“This stable is a Prince’s court.
This crib His chair of state;
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
The wooden dish His plate.”
