Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
“A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
