Famous quotes containing the words plan, tower and/or house:
“some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“You take my house when you do take the prop
That doth sustain my house; you take my life
When you do take the means whereby I live.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
