Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:

    “They had never had one in the house before.
    The strangeness of it all. Like unleashing
    A lion, really. Poised
    To pounce. A puma. A panther. A black
    Bear.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.”
    —Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
