Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or house:

    No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us,—something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
