House/construction

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or construction:

    In a house where there are small children the bathroom soon takes on the appearance of the Old Curiosity Shop.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
