~ Sydney Smith

Be he a king or a peasant, he is happiest who finds peace at home.
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.
~ Richard Ford

Drab Habitation of Whom? Tabernacle or Tomb -- or Dome of Worm -- or Porch of Gnome -- or some Elf's Catacomb?
~ Emily Dickinson

Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.
~ Stephen Fry

Going home must be like going to render an account.
~ Joseph Conrad

Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
~ William Morris

He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

He makes his home where the living is best.
~ Latin Proverb

Home -- that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel's wings.
~ Lydia M. Child

Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners.
~ Charles H. Parkhurst
