Famous quotes containing the words household and/or division:
“Now, as always, the most automated appliance in a household is the mother.”
—Beverly Jones (b. 1927)
“Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
