House Built

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or built:

    “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)

    “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
