    At the top of the house the apples are laid in rows,
    John Drinkwater (1882–1937)

    What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Had I but plenty of money, money enough and to spare,
    The house for me, no doubt, were a house in the city-square;
    Ah, such a life, such a life, as one leads at the window there!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    It should come as no surprise to any of us that the solution to ending bickering in families is to talk to one another more often without blaming, making judgments, or insulting one another.
    Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    I watch the white stars darken;
    the day comes and the
    white stars dim
    and lessen
    and the lights fade in the city.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
