Famous quotes containing the words home, runs and/or pitchers:
“A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
“‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“Little pitchers have big ears.”
—Unknown (20th century)
