Pembroke University

Literary/lyrical quotes heard on 'The Chair'

"I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Shall I part my hair behind?  Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown."
(T.S. Eliot)


"My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke."
(Bette Midler)


"Though she be but little, she is fierce."
(Helena referring to Hermia from Midsummer Night's Dream)



Other quotes from the series

"Professor Dobson's class is like the limp-dicked version of his pretencious writing."


"Sports jacket, check. Five o'clock shadow, check. Sneaking drugs out the back, check. You just need a wide-eyed coed then you will have successfully checked every box in the disaffected middle-aged white-male-professor cliche."
