Home and Household
J.R.R. Tolkien
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Nota nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down onor to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The man who thinks his wife, his baby, his house, his horse, his dog, and himself severally unequalled, is almost sure to he a good-humored person, though liable to be tedious at times.
J.R.R. Tolkien
His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. J. R. R.
George Augustus Moore
A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
Mark Twain
We said there warn’t no home like a raft, afterall. Other places do seem so cramped up andsmothery, but a raft don’t. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
Henny Youngman
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
Margaret Mead
One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night.
G. K. Chesterton
The home is not the one tame place in the world of adventure. It is the one wild place in the world of rules and set tasks.
W. Somerset Maugham
To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all of the miseries of life.
Montaigne
There is scarcely any less bother in the running of a family than in that of an entire state. And domestic business is no less importunate for being less important.
Jane Austen
In his library he had been always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared … to meet with folly and conceit in every other room in the house, he was used to be free of them there.
