Famous quotes containing the words home and/or place:
“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“I want a place where I can sit back in the rocker and say, “Do you remember when we picketed the White House in 1965?””
—Barbara Gittings (b. 1932)
