Famous quotes containing the words ruskin and/or house:

    Architecture ... the adaptation of form to resist force.
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    In my grandmother’s house there was always chicken soup
    And talk of the old country—mud and boards,
    Poverty,
    The snow falling down and necks of lovers.
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
