Famous quotes containing the word homes:
“Pharisaism, obtuseness and tyranny reign not only in the homes of merchants and in jails; I see it in science, in literature, and among youth. I consider any emblem or label a prejudice.... My holy of holies is the human body, health, intellect, talent, inspiration, love and the most absolute of freedoms, the freedom from force and falsity in whatever forms they might appear.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“Youre gonna take the rap and play along. Youre gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you dont, Ill kill you. And Ill promise you one thing, it wont be quick. Ill break you first. You wont be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking This is it. And when it comes, it still wont be quick. And it wont be pretty.”
—Geoffrey Homes (19021977)
“Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
