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)

    We seldom break a leg as long as we are climbing wearily upwards in our lives, instead we do it when we start going easy on ourselves and choosing the comfortable paths.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.
    John Gay (1685–1732)
