Famous quotes containing the words table and/or classical:

    “... So damn your food and damn your wines,
    Your twisted loaves and twisting vines,
    Your table d’hôte, your à la carte,
    . . . .
    From now on you can keep the lot.
    Take every single thing you’ve got,
    Your land, your wealth, your men, your dames,
    Your dream of independent power,
    And dear old Konrad Adenauer,
    And stick them up your Eiffel Tower.”
    —Anthony Jay (b. 1930)

    “Against classical philosophy: thinking about eternity or the immensity of the universe does not lessen my unhappiness.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
