House Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or leaves:

“They had never had one in the house before.
The strangeness of it all. Like unleashing
A lion, really. Poised
To pounce. A puma. A panther. A black
Bear.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Isn’t it strange some people make
You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!”
—Rachel Lyman Field (1894–1942)
