Famous quotes containing the words home and/or run:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“But I will be
A bridegroom in my death, and run into’t
As to a lover’s bed.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
