“The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor,
The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;
The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,
A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.”
Oliver Goldsmith Quotes Source: The Deserted Village (l. 227)

“At night returning, every labour sped,
He sits him down, the monarch of a shed;
Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys
His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze;
While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard,
Displays her cleanly platter on the board.”
Oliver Goldsmith Quotes Source: The Traveller (l. 191)

“How small of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure!
Still to ourselves in every place consigned,
Our own felicity we make or find.
With secret course, which no loud storms annoy,
Glides the smooth current of domestic joy.”
Oliver Goldsmith Quotes Source: The Traveller (l. 429)

“What if in Scotland's wilds we viel'd our head,
Where tempests whistle round the sordid bed;
Where the rug's two-fold use we might display,
By night a blanket, and a plaid by day.”
Oliver Goldsmith Quotes Source: The Traveller (l. 429)

“What the Nation must realize is that the home, when both parents work, is non-existent. Once we have honestly faced that fact, we must act accordingly.”
Agnes Meyer Quotes |
|
“Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.”
Richard Ford Quotes |
|
“I want a house that has got over all its troubles; I don't want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house.”
Jerome K. Jerome Quotes |
|
“The worst thing about work in the house or home is that whatever you do is destroyed, laid waste or eaten within twenty four hours.”
Lady Kasluck Quotes |
|
“Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.”
Stephen Fry Quotes |
|
“The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it -- can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it.”
Marguerite Duras Quotes |
|
“Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.”
Sarah Ban Breathnach Quotes |
|
“A house is a machine for living in.”
Le Corbusier Quotes |
|
“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.”
