House Quotes

If the house is to be set in the order, one cannot begin with the present; he must begin with the past Picture Quote #1

Don’t go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don’t bother with that excursion. Inside your body there are flowers. One flower has a thousand petals. That will do for a place to sit. Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens Picture Quote #1

If I should enter the house and speak with my own voice, at last, about its awful furnitutre, pulling apart the covering over the dusty bodies; the randy father, the husband holding ice in his hand like a blessing, the mother bleeding into herself and the small imploding girl, I say if I should walk into that web, who will come flying after me, leaping tall buildings? you? Picture Quote #1

Too often when we’re buying or building a house we do not consider each room. We are carried away by one charming feature and are blind to details that will give us trouble later on Picture Quote #1

If I have a right to a job, education, health care or a house, then I must be able to specify the person or persons who owe me any or all of these things Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t bet on a horse unless he came up to my house and told me to himself Picture Quote #1

When you make something, if you are a painter or a writer, a degree, or a sculptor or whatever or a musician, a degree of energy is required to make it, and I’m not sure that it is always aggressive, but when you have a great deal of energy it can appear to be more aggressive than it is. In fact, I mean you can talk about a waterfall being aggressive, but in fact it is just a very powerful forward movement of energy, and although I think sometimes my engine house is a kind of anger Picture Quote #1

In the theatre, the actor is in total control. The director wasn’t in the house last night, the designer wasn’t there, the author’s dead. It’s just us and the audience Picture Quote #1

... there is no doubt something will be done sooner or later to enable us to put on a house every day, just as we put on clothes or choose a book to read or a theater to go to, like choosing a day to be lived, within the limits grated by other destinies or chances Picture Quote #1

Even if it’s not a style of architecture or period you like, a decorator has to have a feel for a house’s personality and try not to fight against it. I like to get the juice out of a house and not spoil it Picture Quote #1

In restoring a house one must first realize its period, feel its personality and try to bring out its good points Picture Quote #1

I think everyone must have a first memory of some house, some room, a vivid picture that will remain deep down in one forever Picture Quote #1

I want to tell people that family violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are Picture Quote #1

Remember this: The house doesn’t beat the player. It just gives him the opportunity to beat himself Picture Quote #1

I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house. I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too Picture Quote #1

Crime in the cities is very discouraging. Apartment house dwellers have locks, bolts, chains and bars on their doors. It takes a tenant longer to get out than a burglar to get in Picture Quote #1

Animal experiments occupy a central place in the material and spiritual edifice of our whole civilization. We are speaking here of one of those foundation stones whose removal could cause the whole house to collapse Picture Quote #1

I pictured a low timber house with a shingled roof, caulked against storms, with blazing log fires inside and the walls lined with all the best books, somewhere to live when the rest of the world blew up Picture Quote #1

Women are racing all the time to try to have a perfect house and perfect kids and be a perfect cook. Men, somehow, for whatever reason, seem to be better able to pick and choose, to focus on things they like and that are important to them, and let the other things go Picture Quote #1

In terms of distance, the prodigal’s pigsty is the farthest point from home; in terms of time, the pigsty is the shortest distance to the father’s house Picture Quote #1

A writer has many tools: eyes, ears, nose, sensations, thoughts feelings and imagination. The tools can construct a house of stories Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any pets, so I get to walk around the house naked. So I’m more free Picture Quote #1

What you need to do is build the house you will live in. You build that house by laying a solid foundation: by building physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that whether it is recognized or not, there is a terrific frustration which increases in intensity and harmfulness as time goes on, when people are always daydreaming of the kind of place in which they would like to live, yet never making the place where they do live into anything artistically satisfying to them. Always to dream of a cottage by a brook while never doing anything to the stuffy house in the city is to waste creativity in this very basic area, and to hinder future creativity by not allowing it to grow and develop through use Picture Quote #1

The seduction of evil is precisely in that it involves us in trying to eliminate it. When your consciousness is open, any action you take in reference to evil has no more significance than digging a ditch to channel floodwaters away from a house Picture Quote #1

I tell myself it’s a virtue, my failure to sleep in my own house, or at all. I tell myself that I spend more hours than most people aware that I am alive, and that over a lifetime this adds up to more living, more aliveness. I am more alive than the rest of my family. Which is my greatest night fear. Which is why I hunt. I don’t ever want to be more alive than they are Picture Quote #1

Each family functions in their own way, by rules reinvented daily. The strangeness of each of us is somehow accommodated so that there can be such a thing as family and we can all live for some time at least in the same house. Normal is what you know Picture Quote #1

It is true that there is nothing like a blaze in the hearth to soothe the nerves and restore order to a house Picture Quote #1

I want to buy my mom a house; I want my family to never have to worry about anything. And I just want to have an amazing career in music, because I love to do it Picture Quote #1

Anybody who can step out of the house with a pair of heels and some lipstick on their lips is my hero Picture Quote #1
