Furniture Quotes

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It’s about space and form and it’s something you can share with other people Picture Quote #1

In our house we repeated the pattern of thousands of other homes. There were a few books and a lot of music. Our food and our furniture were no different from our neighbors’ Picture Quote #1

I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew Picture Quote #1

The thing I like about my body is that it’s strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It’s a well functioning machine Picture Quote #1

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it Picture Quote #1

There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture; it depends on what I’m obsessing about Picture Quote #1

Then I started to do furniture and interiors for a friend and just to get stuff in a magazine, and then slowly started to build up and started to doing exhibitions Picture Quote #1

Like a lot of fellows around here, I have a furniture problem. My chest has fallen into my drawers Picture Quote #1

I loved their home. Everything smelled older, worn but safe; the food aroma had baked itself into the furniture Picture Quote #1

A mind devoid of prepossessions is likely to be devoid of all mental furniture. And the historian who thinks that he can clean his mind as he would a slate with a wet sponge, is ignorant of the simplest facts of mental life Picture Quote #1

And I like the idea of change. Because I don’t see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it’s there like a piece of furniture Picture Quote #1

What a surprise to find you could shift the contents of your head like rearranging furniture in a room Picture Quote #1

Knowledge cannot be stolen from us. It cannot be bought or sold. We may be poor, and the sheriff may come and sell our furniture, or drive away our cow, or take our pet lamb, and leave us homeless and penniless; but he cannot lay the law’s hand upon the jewelry of our minds Picture Quote #1

I don’t make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture Picture Quote #1

I don’t enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture Picture Quote #1

I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels Picture Quote #1

The dragonets found the carpenters to be even more fascinating than the furniture, and followed the poor men from pen to pen, crowding around to watch, tasting the wooden planks, trying to steal the tools. It made for an interesting day for everyone, as the boys tried to keep the dragonets away from the carpenters, and the dragonets tried to get at the carpenters, and the carpenters worked probably a great deal faster than they ever had in their lives, sure that the dragonets would go from tasting the wood to tasting them Picture Quote #1

His books were the closest thing he had to furniture and he lived in them the way other men live in easy chairs Picture Quote #1

You can’t stand clutter, and you have an obsession with orderliness. The furniture in here is centered exactly on the walls; the files on your desk are arranged in precise corners. If I had to guess, I would say you are probably a control freak, and that is usually symptomatic of a man who feels powerless to control his own life, so he tries to control every facet of his surroundings Picture Quote #1

She was always puzzled that people say that darkness falls. To her it seemed instead to rise, massing under trees an shrubs, pouring out from under furniture, only reaching the sky when the spaces near the ground were full Picture Quote #1

He had no money and no home; he lived entirely on the road of the racing circuit, sleeping in empty stalls, carrying with him only a saddle, his rosary, and his books... The books were the closest thing he had to furniture, and he lived in them the way other men live in easy chairs Picture Quote #1

That’s the trouble with the world we live in. It’s full of people just doing their job and ignoring what’s really going on. Care about the rainforest until they get a couple of kids and enough money for a gas guzzling car, or some hardwood dining furniture. Watch all those wildlife programmes and coo over the furry animals, but still eat meat and poultry that was raised in conditions of unbelievable cruelty Picture Quote #1

A man rising in the world is not concerned with history; he is too busy making it. But a citizen with a fixed place in the community wants to acquire a glorious past just as he acquires antique furniture. By that past he is reassured of his present importance; in it he finds strength to face the dangers that lie in front of him Picture Quote #1

May we look upon our treasure, the furniture of our houses, and our garments, and try to discover whether the seeds of war have nourishment in these our possessions Picture Quote #1

Though the parallel is not complete, it is safe to say that science will never touch them unaided by its practical applications. Its wonders may be catalogued for purposes of education, they may be illustrated by arresting experiments, by numbers and magnitudes which startle or fatigue the imagination but they will form no familiar portion of the intellectual furniture of ordinary men unless they be connected, however remotely, with the conduct of ordinary life Picture Quote #1
