Famous quotes containing the words idea and/or house:
“And that is where I find myself now, in the middle—hating the idea of abortions, hating the idea of having them outlawed.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
