Famous quotes containing the words garland and/or house:

    There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers’ wives.
    —Hamlin Garland (1860–1940)

    I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds. Even though bottles were boiled, rooms disinfected, and germs fought one on one, no one seemed to care where the pacifier had been.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)
