Famous quotes containing the words han and/or china:
“Certes this dream, which ye han met tonight,
Cometh of the great superfluity
Of your redde colera,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
