White House Chief

Famous quotes containing the words white, house and/or chief:

    And when you sigh from kiss to kiss
    I hear white Beauty sighing, too,
    For hours when all must fade like dew....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is nothing truly beautiful but that which can never be of any use whatsoever; everything useful is ugly, for it is the expression of some need, and man’s needs are ignoble and disgusting like his own poor and infirm nature. The most useful place in a house is the water-closet.
    Théophile Gautier (1811–1872)

    Who’ll be chief mourner?
    I, said the dove,
    I’ll mourn for my love,
    I’ll be chief mourner.
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. Who killed Cock Robin? (L. 33–36)
