Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or house:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa.

—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“In a house where there are small children the bathroom soon takes on the appearance of the Old Curiosity Shop.”
