Famous quotes containing the words table and/or values:

    “Comes the time when it’s later
    and onto your table the headwaiter
    puts the bill,”
    —Robert Creeley (b. 1926)

    “Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, “naughty” meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.”
    —Anita Loos (1888–1981)
