Quotes about: House

• Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there.

An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build—why, I’ll be there.

• [Man] is the only animal who lives outside of himself, whose drive is in external things—property, houses, money, concepts of power. He lives in his cities and his factories, in his business and job and art. But having projected himself into these external complexities, he is them.

This is beautifully demonstrated by a thing doctors know—that when a man loses his possessions a very common result is sexual impotence.
