Famous quotes containing the words london and/or houses:

    “London ... remains a man’s city where New York is chiefly a woman’s. London has whole streets that cater to men’s wants. It has its great solid phalanx of fortress clubs.”
    —Louis Kronenberger (1904–1980)

    “I like old people when they have aged well. And old houses with an accumulation of sweet honest living in them are good. And the timelessness that only the passing of Time itself can give to objects both inside and outside the spirit is a continuing reassurance.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
