Personal House

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or house:

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Though the house is full of
    candy bars the wasted ghost
    of my parents is poking
    the keyhole, rubbing the bedpost.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
