Famous quotes containing the word tables:

    Players, Sir! I look on them as no better than creatures set upon tables and joint stools to make faces and produce laughter, like dancing dogs.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Eddie Felson: Church of the Good Hustler.
    Charlie: Looks more like a morgue to me. Those tables are the slabs they lay the stiffs on.
    Eddie Felson: I’ll be alive when I get out, Charlie.
    Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Eddie Felson (Paul Newman)

    Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
    Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
    Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
    Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
    Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
    In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
