Roof Roof

Famous quotes containing the word roof:

“But whenever the roof came white
The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

“Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
