Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or house:
“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“A man’s worst enemies are those
Of his own house & family;
And he who makes his law a curse,
By his own law shall surely die.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
