Building Houses

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or houses:

    “There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
    And there a clump of houses with a church.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
