Alfred Moore House

Famous quotes containing the words moore and/or house:

    Sun and moon and day and night and man and beast
    each with a splendor
    which man in all his vileness cannot
    set aside; each with an excellence!
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
