Famous quotes containing the words house and/or built:

“Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)

“Cynicism is cheap—you can buy it at any Monoprix store—it’s built into all poor-quality goods.”
