Famous quotes containing the words endowed and/or chairs:
“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“My verse
has brought me
no roubles to spare:
no craftsmen have made
mahogany chairs for my house.”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
