Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's wife, nor
his manservant, nor his maid-
servant, nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is thy neigh-
bour's.
Exodus 20:17, King James Version
Holy Bible
Many waters cannot quench
love, neither can the floods drown
it: if a man would give all the
substance of his house for love,
it would utterly be contemned.
Song of Solomon 8:7, King James Version
Holy Bible
A woman's place is in the house - the House of Representatives.
Bella Abzug
I prefer the word homemaker
because housewife
always implies that there may be a wife someplace else.
Bella Abzug
I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your
ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.
John Adams
Claire stretched out against the wall and kissed it. Glad to see you, too,
she whispered, and pressed her cheek against the smooth
surface. It almost felt like it hugged her back. Dude, it's a house,
Shane said from behind her. Hug somebody who cares.
Lord of Misrule
Rachel Caine
Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.
Norman Douglas
We are willing to spend the least amount of money to keep a kid at home, more to put him in a foster home, and the most to institutionalize him.
Marian Edelman
The stately homes of England!
How beautiful they stand.
Felicia Hemans
Stages
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.
The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
If I had a message to give my dad, it'd probably be, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
He's helped me so much on this crazy journey.
Giving up his job, being away from my mom, and being away from home for that much just because of me? It's a lot. And I thank him for it.
Chloe Kim
Every time I get an opponent - I mean, every time I get a chance - I'm home.
Responding to questioning about whether he actually resides in Kansas, KCMO radio interview, July 3, 2014.

The most beautiful house in the world is the one that you build for yourself.
Witold Rybczynski
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
George Bernard Shaw
Family! ... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
August Strindberg
Morality aside, there are other factors deterring strategic defaults,
whether in recourse or nonrecourse states. These include the economic
and emotional costs of giving up one's home and moving, the perceived social stigma of defaulting, and a serious hit to a borrower's credit rating.
Richard H. Thaler
Any one who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the
people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums, Paul learned, who find prison so soul-destroying.
Evelyn Waugh
Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.
Virginia Woolf
