Comfortable

Famous quotes containing the word comfortable:

    “And get a comfortable wife and house
    To rid me of the devil in my shoes,”
    Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
    “And the worse devil that is between my thighs.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
