Famous quotes containing the word furniture:

    ... in no part of the world is genteel visiting founded on esteem, in the absence of suitable furniture and complete dinner-service.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    And then he would lift this finest
    of furniture to his big left shoulder
    and tuck it in and draw the bow
    so carefully as to make the music

    almost visible on the air.
    Stanley Plumly (b. 1939)

    A daughter of Eve ... had better be fifty leagues off—or in her warm bed—or playing with a case-knife—or any thing you please—than make a man the object of her attention, when the house and all the furniture is her own.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
