Famous quotes containing the word houses:

    “Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
    —Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)

    “And the Harvard students in the brick
    hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
    And this Sappho danced on the grass
    and danced and danced and danced.
    It was a death dance.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
