Famous quotes containing the words domestic and/or demand:
“I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“That demand of a given moment,
the will to enjoy, the will to live,
not merely the will to endure,
the will to flight, the will to achievement,
the will to rest after long flight.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
