Famous quotes containing the word comfortable:
“... if a person is to be unconventional, he must be amusing or he is intolerable: for, in the nature of the case, he guarantees you nothing but amusement. He does not guarantee you any of the little amenities by which society has assured itself that, if it must go to sleep, it will at least sleep in a comfortable chair.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (18791944)
“The comfortable smell of friendly fingers,
Hairs fragrance, and the musty reek that lingers
About dead leaves and last years ferns. . . .”
—Rupert Brooke (18871915)
“Our ability to fall in love requires enough comfort with our masculinity to join it with someones femininity and feel enhanced. . . . If our mother made us feel secure and proud in our masculinity, then we want to find that again in our wife. If we are really comfortable with our mother, we can even marry a woman who is a friend rather than an adversary, and form a true partnership.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
