Famous quotes containing the words pet and/or house:
“... instead of being a help meet to man, in the highest, noblest sense of the term, as a companion, a co-worker, an equal; she has been a mere appendage of his being, an instrument of his convenience and pleasure, the pretty toy with which he wiled [sic] away his leisure moments, or the pet animal whom he humored into playfulness and submission.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
