Famous quotes containing the words chair and/or labour:
“My chair was nearest to the fire
In every company
That talked of love or politics,
Ere Time transfigured me.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Indeed, I thought, slipping the silver into my purse ... what a change of temper a fixed income will bring about. No force in the world can take from me my five hundred pounds. Food, house and clothing are mine for ever. Therefore not merely do effort and labour cease, but also hatred and bitterness. I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
