House Sit

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or sit:

“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
