Famous quotes containing the word chairs:

    “I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Behind her was confusion in the room,
    Of chairs turned upside down to sit like people
    In other chairs, and something, come to look,
    For every room a house has parlor, bedroom,
    And dining room thrown pell-mell in the kitchen.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “My verse
    has brought me
    no roubles to spare:
    no craftsmen have made
    mahogany chairs for my house.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
