Famous quotes containing the words chair of and/or chair:

    “Come leave the loathed stage,
    And the more loathsome age,
    Where pride and impudence in faction knit
    Usurp the chair of wit:
    Indicting and arraigning every day,
    Something they call a play.
    Let their fastidious, vain
    Commission of the brain,
    Run on and rage, sweat, censure, and condemn:
    They were not made for thee, less thou for them.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “The chair as ideas fits only the bottom as idea.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
