“In the pathways between office and home and home and the houses of settled people there are always, ready to snap at you, the little perils of routine living, but there is no escape in the unplanned tangent, the sudden turn.”

“A house is spotless, but a home is messy filled with people who live there.”

“There are no beautiful houses in England now. Only ruins, mental homes, and Government offices.”
