Home Runs

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or runs:

    It is the personality of the mistress that the home expresses. Men are forever guests in our homes, no matter how much happiness they may find there.
    Elsie De Wolfe (1865–1950)

    The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.”
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
