Famous quotes containing the words table and/or types:

    “Comes the time when it’s later
    and onto your table the headwaiter
    puts the bill,”
    —Robert Creeley (b. 1926)

    “If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
