Famous quotes containing the words halfway and/or houses:
“I feel so useless. Here I am nearly halfway through life, and what have I done?... I have nothing to show for all my years.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
