The blessing which we associate with a life of refinement and cultivation can be made universal and must be made universal if they are to be permanent. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
I dreamed night after night that everyone in the world was dead excepting myself, and that upon me rested the responsibility of making a wagon wheel. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
Of all aspects of social misery nothing is so heartbreaking as unemployment. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
Jane Addams, writing about her Twenty Years at Hull House, said, People did not want to hear about simple things. They wanted to hear about great things - simply told. ~ Fred Rogers
Hull House quotes by Fred Rogers
Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand, this oldest tool with which man has dug his way from savagery, and with which he is constantly groping forward. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
It was also my experience at Hull-House that aroused my interest in industrial diseases. ~ Alice Hamilton
Hull House quotes by Alice Hamilton
This dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
In the unceasing ebb and flow of justice and oppression we must all dig channels as best we may, that at the propitious moment somewhat of the swelling tide may be conducted to the barren places of life. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
If in a democratic country nothing can be permanently achieved save through the masses of the people, it will be impossible to establish a higher political life than the people themselves crave. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
I am not one of those who believe - broadly speaking - that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislatures, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
It is easy to become the dupe of a deferred purpose, of the promise the future can never keep ... ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
If the Settlement seeks its expression through social activity, it must learn the difference between mere social unrest and spiritual impulse. ~ Jane Addams
Hull House quotes by Jane Addams
Looking back, I think that's why I did music. I'd get home from school and the house would be so quiet. ~ Dido Armstrong
Hull House quotes by Dido Armstrong
Three things ruin a man: power, money, and women. I never wanted power. I never had any money, and the only woman in my life is up at the house right now. ~ Harry S. Truman
Hull House quotes by Harry S. Truman
Mr. Pink lives in the Pink House, Mr. Yellow lives in the Yellow House, and Mr. Blue lives in the Blue house. Then who is residing in the White House? ~ OyoKids Publications
Hull House quotes by OyoKids Publications
I get a lot of single mum roles - 'It's a Free World' turned out well, so people thought, 'She can be a single mum, Kierston can do that. Or live in a council house - she can do that.' ~ Kierston Wareing
Hull House quotes by Kierston Wareing
[L]et us imagine a mirror image of what is happening today. What if millions of white Americans were pouring across the border into Mexico, taking over parts of cities, speaking English rather than Spanish, celebrating the Fourth of July rather than Cinco de Mayo, sleeping 20 to a house, demanding bilingual instruction and welfare for immigrants, opposing border control, and demanding ballots in English? What if, besides this, they had high rates of crime, poverty, and illegitimacy? Can we imagine the Mexicans rejoicing in their newfound diversity?
And yet, that is what Americans are asked to do. For whites to celebrate diversity is to celebrate their own declining numbers and influence, and the transformation of their society. For every other group, to celebrate diversity is to celebrate increasing numbers and influence. Which is a real celebration and which is self-deception?
Whites - but only whites - must never take pride in their own people. Only whites must pretend they do not prefer to associate with people like themselves. Only whites must pretend to be happy to give up their neighborhoods, their institutions, and their country to people unlike themselves. Only whites must always act as individuals and never as members of a group that promotes shared interests.
Racial identity comes naturally to all non-white groups. It comes naturally because it is good, normal, and healthy to feel kinship for people like oneself. Despite the fashionable view that race ~ Jared Taylor
Hull House quotes by Jared Taylor
I don't believe in marriage. I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other. But, but, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic. ~ Tina Modotti
Hull House quotes by Tina Modotti
I mean, who the hell has a turret on their house, besides Rapunzel? ~ Jodi Picoult
Hull House quotes by Jodi Picoult
When the pressures really mount, the neurotic must choose: Shall he have a good cry, or set fire to his neighbor's house? ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Hull House quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
Hey Dad, will you buy me a flame thrower?
Of course not. Don't be silly.
Even if I didn't use it in the house? ~ Bill Watterson
Hull House quotes by Bill Watterson
I sat and three hours later realized I had been seized by an idea that started short but grew to wild size by day's end. The concept was so riveting I found it hard at sunset to flee the library basement and take the bus home to reality: my house, my wife, and our baby daughter. ~ Ray Bradbury
Hull House quotes by Ray Bradbury
The Barbies with their stick legs and rocket breasts were another problem Megan had to endure. She was supposed to spend hours dressing up or playing house with them, including the darker ones she was supposed to find more relatable. In a fit she'd once tried to commit Barbicide, defaced them with colored marker pens, chopped off hair, extracted eyes with scissors and de-limbed a few... The Barbie invasion proliferated on birthdays and at Christmas, relatives talked about incredible collection, as if she'd actually chosen to have them in her life. ~ Bernardine Evaristo
Hull House quotes by Bernardine Evaristo
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together. ~ Francesco Petrarca
Hull House quotes by Francesco Petrarca
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang again. This time, I answered it. It was my neighbor, an elderly woman I had exchanged no more than a dozen words with in the ten years I'd lived in Thomaston. She had pot holders on her hands, which held a pan of brownies still hot from the oven, and tears were rolling down her cheeks. "I just heard," she said.
That pan of brownies was, it later turned out, the leading edge of a tsunami of food that came to my children and me, a wave that did not recede for many months after Drew's death. I didn't know that my family and I would be fed three meals a day for weeks and weeks. I did not anticipate that neighborhood men would come to drywall the playroom, build bookshelves, mow the lawn, get the oil changed in my car. I did not know that my house would be cleaned and the laundry done, that I would have embraces and listening ears, that I would not be abandoned to do the labor of mourning alone. All I knew was that my neighbor was standing on the front stoop with her brownies and her tears: she was the Good News. ~ Kate Braestrup
Hull House quotes by Kate Braestrup
He unsnapped the top button on his jeans.
My eyes widened."Sneaky bastard."
I gnawed my lip in pleasure,watching the past,present,and future Master of Cadogan House in the state of utter abandon:shirt on the floor,jeans unbuttoned,his arousal obvious. ~ Chloe Neill
Hull House quotes by Chloe Neill
He guessed the NKVD didn't even know that Waffen-SS men could be identified by the blood-group tattoos on the underside of their left arms, usually near the armpit. Richter didn't have one. He'd been classed as a non-combatant, as he'd said, at least for a portion of the war. He decided it could be weeks before they found out who he was.
But Volsky's confidence appeared to have been restored too, now. He said, 'And the vat of incense?'
'I had the incense brought from the remnants of a Christmas smoker factory. Silly little hollow figurines invented by toymakers in the Ore Mountains. Cone incense burns down inside the figurines and the smoke emerges from the open mouths. There was a glut of them,' Richter said, truthfully. 'Berliners were shocked and saddened after Stalingrad. But they lost the will to celebrate after the Battle of Kursk. They knew the Red Army was coming. The puerile little incense smokers were redundant, together with the incense they were to hold. Except it didn't go to waste. The vat was taken from a merchant's house. It's from Hong Kong, I think.'
Volsky leaned back in his chair. He said, 'Why go to all the trouble?'
That's a good question, Richter thought.
He stifled a smile. 'To mask the smell. ~ Gary Haynes
Hull House quotes by Gary  Haynes
When this tent we live in - our body here on earth - is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:1 TEV ~ Rick Warren
Hull House quotes by Rick Warren
At the beginning of every winter people are careful to install storm windows. These extra panes of glass protect their houses against the bitter winds. We do something very similar to protect our minds through the practice of meditation. ~ Eknath Easwaran
Hull House quotes by Eknath Easwaran
I'm the only one who leaves the house in my pajamas because I can't get my shit together, nor do I give a shit that I can't get my shit together. ~ Jen Mann
Hull House quotes by Jen Mann
But this is what I also thought as I watched the waves of trash crash over the cracked and broken road: that for the rest of us, Arizona would always be one of our places now. It would be on the list of things we own in our heads. Don't we all have this list? It's like, everything that secretly belongs to us - a favorite color, or springtime, or a house we don't live in anymore. We all gained Arizona by coming here, but for the people who already lived here, we could only take something away. ~ Adam Rex
Hull House quotes by Adam Rex
I have a cat. I'm not a cat-person, but she came with the house that I'm renting. I don't know how many hundreds of dollars worth of bump removals, teeth removals, cleanings and vet fees I've been through since then. But of course I love her and she's worth it. ~ Nathan Fillion
Hull House quotes by Nathan Fillion
Houses, like faces, hide all kinds of memories. ~ Ron Franscell
Hull House quotes by Ron Franscell
The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it - can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it. ~ Marguerite Duras
Hull House quotes by Marguerite Duras
Turns out that a real-estate agent keeps her own home on the market an average of ten days longer and sells it for an extra 3-plus percent, or $10,000 on a $300,000 house. ~ Steven D. Levitt
Hull House quotes by Steven D. Levitt
Please, Matsu-san,' I told him, not long after the house was completed. 'I don't wish to have any flowers.'
Never once did he question me. I needed my life to be simple without any beauty to remind me of all I had lost. And though I had not told him that, Matsu must have seen it in my eyes. 'Don't worry, Sachi,' he said, 'there will be no flowers. ~ Gail Tsukiyama
Hull House quotes by Gail Tsukiyama
There was silence. Then as if to refresh the power of destruction, the wind rose and the waves rose and through the house there lifted itself a sullen wave of doom which curled and crashed and the whole earth seemed ruining and washing away in water. ~ Virginia Woolf
Hull House quotes by Virginia Woolf
God's dream is that you have an abundance, that you be totally out of debt, pay your house off, pay your credit cards off, and have so much overflow that you can be a blessing to everyone around you! ~ Joel Osteen
Hull House quotes by Joel Osteen
Your house is lovely," I say, even though it isn't. It's old; it could use a good cleaning. But the things inside it are lovely.
"It's empty now. All my things sold up. Can't take it with you, you know."
"You mean when you die?" I whisper.
He glares at me. "No. I mean to the nursing home. ~ Jenny Han
Hull House quotes by Jenny Han
Every house needs a grandmother in it. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Hull House quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Sweetheart, wake up; you've destroyed the house and I need you to suffer for it. ~ Christopher Moore
Hull House quotes by Christopher Moore
Like a child exploring the attic of an old house on a rainy day, discovering a trunk full of treasure and then calling all his brothers and sisters to share the find, Richard J. 'Foster has 'found' the spiritual disciplines that the modern world has stored away and forgot, and has excitedly called us to celebrate them. For they are, as he shows us, the instruments of joy, the way into mature Christian spirituality and abundant life. ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Hull House quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
So many things were testing his faith. There was the Bible, of course, but the Bible was a book, and so were Bleak House, Treasure Island, Ethan Frome and The Last of the Mohicans. Did it then seem probable, as he had once overheard Dunbar ask, that the answers to riddles of creation would be supplied by people too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall? Had Almighty God, in all His infinite wisdom, really been afraid that men six thousand years ago would succeed in building a tower to heaven? ~ Joseph Heller
Hull House quotes by Joseph Heller
Two women can't share a house comfortably, no matter how fond they might be of each other. It's got to be one woman's kitchen. ~ Nora Roberts
Hull House quotes by Nora Roberts
Opia. So much can be said in a glance. Such ambiguous intensity, both invasive and vulnerable - glittering black, bottomless and opaque. The eye is a keyhole, through which the world pours in and a world spills out. And for a few seconds, you can peek through into a vault, that contains everything they are. But whether the eyes are the windows of the soul or the doors of perception, it doesn't matter: you're still standing on the outside of the house. Eye contact isn't really contact at all. It's only ever a glance, a near miss, that you can only feel as it slips past you.

There's so much we keep in the back room. We offer up a sample of who we are, of what we think people want us to be. But so rarely do we stop to look inside, and let our eyes adjust, and see what's really there. Because you too are peering out from behind your own door. You put yourself out there, trying to decide how much of the world to let in. It's all too easy for others to size you up, and carry on their way. They can see you more clearly than you ever could. And yours is the only vault you can't see into, that you can't size up in an instant.

So we're all just exchanging glances, trying to tell each other who we are, trying to catch a glimpse of ourselves, feeling around in the darkness. ~ The Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows
Hull House quotes by The Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows
They read the long afternoon through, while the cold November rain fell from the sky upon the quiet house. ~ Ray Bradbury
Hull House quotes by Ray Bradbury
You wanted someone to be obsessed with you. How could you accomplish that? ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Hull House quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
I've always had a social awareness. My favorite channel on TV is BBC News 24. For a while, I had to have it on repeat in my house. I've always been interested in what's going on in the world. ~ Douglas Booth
Hull House quotes by Douglas Booth
There are other ways than conventional doors to get around my house, Ms Rainn. ~ S.A. Tawks
Hull House quotes by S.A. Tawks
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off. ~ Sylvia Plath
Hull House quotes by Sylvia Plath
Sure I've got an awesome overdraft but as a perk I've got someone personally assigned to look after me. When you spend £45,000 on doing up your house you don't have to speak to someone in a call centre. ~ Brian Robertson
Hull House quotes by Brian Robertson
I have a feeling of complete balance. The sea, the house, the loneliness, the light. Everything is clearer. Much more precise. I have the feeling that I am living on a limit, and I'm crossing that limit sometimes. ~ Ingmar Bergman
Hull House quotes by Ingmar Bergman
NORA: Yes; it is just so, Torvald. While I was still at home with father, he used to tell me all his views, and so of course I held the same views; if at any time I had a different view I concealed it, because he would not have liked people with opinions of their own. He used to call me his little doll, and play with me, as I in my turn used to play with my dolls. Then I came to live in your house. ~ Henrik Ibsen
Hull House quotes by Henrik Ibsen
Whenever we have had a need for a national security or public safety issue, Congress has always followed the recommendations of the White House, regardless of who is in control, giving them the resources to keep America safe and to enforce our laws. ~ Jim Sensenbrenner
Hull House quotes by Jim Sensenbrenner
. I'd known from that first time we'd talked on the steps at my dad's beach house that she was a good girl, and I'd liked that about her – so much. ~ Monica Alexander
Hull House quotes by Monica Alexander
Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.
Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hull House quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Unlike most divorced parents, whose interactions are confined to the topic of the kids, people still sharing a house have to talk about clogged sinks and moth infestations. ~ Katie Hafner
Hull House quotes by Katie Hafner
Even if I don't have the money to take vocal lessons, I'll practice in the house by myself singing out loud. ~ Christina Milian
Hull House quotes by Christina Milian
Stolen pleasures are always more thrilling than those come by honestly. ~ Ann Leary
Hull House quotes by Ann Leary
At his house I often met Henry James. I liked
to watch that ingenious spider weaving his
webs, but to me he had no appeal. ~ Jane Ellen Harrison
Hull House quotes by Jane Ellen Harrison
He loved her; in some ways he was devoted to her. But he couldn't reach her, and it was the same on her side. It was as if they'd drunk some fatal potion that would keep them forever apart, even though they lived in the same house, ate at the same table, slept in the same bed. ~ Margaret Atwood
Hull House quotes by Margaret Atwood
