Pad%C3%A9 Table/history

Famous quotes containing the words table and/or history:

    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)

    Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.
    —G.M. (George Macaulay)
