Appointed House

Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or house:

Not here the appointed End, not here!
But somewhere, beyond Space and Time,
Is wetter water, slimier slime!”

“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)
