Comfortable

Famous quotes containing the word comfortable:

    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)

    Civilization is a conspiracy.... Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences.
    John Buchan (1875–1940)

    I once wanted to be a personage. Now I am comfortable being a person.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
