House/construction

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or construction:

“I came on a great house in the middle of the night
Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;
But I woke in an old ruin that the winds howled through;
And when I pay attention I must out and walk
Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
