Famous quotes containing the words house and/or dust:
“Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,these eat up the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Of comfort no man speak.
Lets talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs,
Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.
Lets choose executors and talk of wills.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
