Common Bawdy House

Famous quotes containing the words common, bawdy and/or house:

“Throughout the 1980’s, we did hear too much about individual gain and the ethos of selfishness and greed. We did not hear enough about how to be a good member of a community, to define the common good and to repair the social contract. And we also found that while prosperity does not trickle down from the most powerful to the rest of us, all too often indifference and even intolerance do.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)

“Here is a dirty book worth reading ... a bawdy which will be very useful to put Wyndham and J.J. into their proper cubby holes; cause Miller is sore and without kinks.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“The house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money! There must be more money!”
