God walks among the pots and pans.

At the worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.

Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one’s home.

In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.

Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.

An American will build a house in which to pass his old age and sell it before the roof is on.

An exile with no home anywhere is a corpse without a grave.

Men are merriest when they are from home.

People can say what they like about the eternal verities, love and truth and so on, but nothing’s as eternal as the dishes.

Hospitality consists in a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

Every house: temple, empire, school.

I quit life as from an inn, not as from a home.
