If I were straight and I were trying to seduce a woman, I could do it just by standing up at the table when she came back from the bathroom. It works. Every time I do that, all the straight men are sitting at the table and their wives are kicking them. “Look at that!” “You never do that for me!”
The only way to increase it is to cultivate your own garden. And the only thing that will help you is poetry, which is the most concentrated form of style…. I don’t care how clever the other professor is, one can’t raise a discussion of modern prose to anything above tea-table level.
The oldest form of theater is the dinner table.
There is no gaming table in the world where loaded dice are tolerated, no athletic field where men must not start fair.

We need to tap into new issues. There’s a way to resurrect the sound policies of our party, but also to look toward new issues – kitchen-table issues like the rising cost of education. I think that’s a winning issue for Republicans.
I came to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat. “Everyone brought a pet. I feel left out.” An enthusiastic howl broke the silence, and Grendel bounded through the doorway. He galloped through the steak house, skidded on the floor, smashed into my chair, and dropped a dead rat on my lap. Awesome.
Drink to me! I just realized that I’ve slept with everyone at this table! ~Nell

He [Lyndon Johnson] hated the war. He hated having anybody put in harm away. But he believed that what we were doing is what we had to do for our commitments with SEATO, for many reasons. And he was carrying forth a policy that he had inherited. And he tried and got us to the peace table in 1968.

When our cup runs over, we let others drink the drops that fall, but not a drop from within the rim, and call it charity; when the crumbs are swept from our table, we think it generous to let the dogs eat them; as if that were charity which permits others to have what we cannot keep.
