Famous quotes containing the words chairs and, chairs and/or chief:

    From one casual of mine he picked this sentence. “After dinner, the men moved into the living room.” I explained to the professor that this was Ross’s way of giving the men time to push back their chairs and stand up. There must, as we know, be a comma after every move, made by men, on this earth.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them.
    Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
