Famous quotes containing the words table and/or types:

    The one happiness is to shut one’s door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

    The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
