Famous quotes containing the words dwelling and/or house:
“And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove’s,
The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
