Building Permits

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or permits:

    And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
