Famous quotes containing the words seated and/or flat:

“They are as sick that surfeit with too much as they that starve with nothing. It is no mean happiness therefore to be seated in the mean.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
