House Sit

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or sit:

“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Taking into consideration all your loveliness
why can’t you burn your bootsoles and your
draft card? How can you sit there saying yes
to war?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
