State House District

Famous quotes containing the words state, house and/or district:

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
