Famous quotes containing the words human and/or habitation:

    “The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”

    “An habitation giddy and unsure
    Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.”
