Famous quotes containing the word chairs:

    “I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve, I’ve dreamed of havin’ my own things about me. My spinet over there and a table here. My own chairs to rest upon and a dresser over there in that corner, and my own china and pewter shinin’ about me.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “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)
