Rooms

Famous quotes containing the word rooms:

    Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America—not on the battlefields of Vietnam.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds. Even though bottles were boiled, rooms disinfected, and germs fought one on one, no one seemed to care where the pacifier had been.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    By sitting dressed like this, in rooms like these,
    Saying I can’t guess what just fancy, when
    They could be really drinking, or in bed....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
