Famous quotes containing the words brown, square and/or house:

    “Me did he send a love-letter,
    He sent it from the town,
    Saying no more he loved me,
    For that I was so brown.
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 9–12)

    A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    The house seems heavier
    Now that they have gone away.
    In fact it emptied in record time.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
