Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or stoves:
“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“We do not suspect how much our chimneys have concealed; and now air-tight stoves have come to conceal all the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
