Famous quotes containing the word table:

    “The table kills more people than war does.”
    —Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.

    “A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 23:5.
