Furniture Quotations
It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.
Benjamin Franklin
Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Frank Lloyd Wright

Debbie Allen
We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.
