Famous quotes containing the words power and/or house:
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which Ive been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burstif, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860?)
“In my grandmothers house there was always chicken soup
And talk of the old countrymud and boards,
Poverty,
The snow falling down and necks of lovers.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
