Walls Built

Famous quotes containing the words walls and/or built:

the walls and roof and seemed
to uphold the hall like a beam.”

“Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
