Historic Home

Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or home:

“We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in “the social” our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial cosiness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“O Lord! I don’t know which is the worst of the country, the walking or the sitting at home with nothing to do.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
