Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or house:
“We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.”

“When cups went round at close of day
Is not that how good stories run?
The gods were sitting at the board
In their great house at Slievenamon.
They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
For all were full of wine and meat.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
