Portable Houses

Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or houses:

    In the quilts I had found good objects—hospitable, warm, with soft edges yet resistant, with boundaries yet suggesting a continuous safe expanse, a field that could be bundled, a bundle that could be unfurled, portable equipment, light, washable, long-lasting, colorful, versatile, functional and ornamental, private and universal, mine and thine.
    Radka Donnell-Vogt, U.S. quiltmaker. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981)

    Trust him to have his bitter politics
    Against his unacquaintances the rich
    Who sleep in houses of their own, though mortgaged.
    Conservatives, they don’t know what to save.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
