Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or house:
“We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in “the social” our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial cosiness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Though the house is full of
candy bars the wasted ghost
of my parents is poking
the keyhole, rubbing the bedpost.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
