Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
If schools don’t make books important then children who come from homes with no books, and who don’t visit libraries, will never find their way into this vital way of presenting ideas, feelings and knowledge.
Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying… Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.
Sometimes in Asian homes it is all about where we’ve come from, which is important too, but it is about where you live and where you’re born and the people who are the same as you.

Nightmares of a capital city overwhelmed by tsunami, war or plague transfix us, but catastrophe is first felt locally, and there are many homes outside the city.
Pioneer women were very tough – they had to be, because the men go off for long periods of time, and the women would have to be able to protect themselves and their homes.
When I’m on tour, telly-watching happens at unusual times for me. After a hotel breakfast, I generally catch up on ‘Homes Under Hammer’ and ‘This Morning’, while replying to emails and dozing slightly. A full belly will do that to a woman.
We’re fighting for community energy initiatives, warmer homes and crucial flood defences – and fiercely opposing the Government’s assault on renewables.
I have two homes in Malibu, a home in Canada that I’m building, and I just love pouring my heart out into this part of my life.
More and more, the superrich don’t live in one place but many, flitting between multiple homes on different continents, flying to them on private jets, perhaps, concealing many of their real estate purchases through webs of shell companies and trusts.
If people need homes then put councils and building workers to work to build them, buy up the empty ones and stop the repossessions.
If I wrote in Jacob Riis’ time, I’d be writing about teeming slums in our cities and kids dying of tuberculosis or outhouses in Philadelphia or kids losing their toes because they were living in homes without heat. He took on a battle in ‘The Battle with the Slums’ – and we won.
My parents both flipped homes. A typical weekend for us was walking through model home units. I loved walking through interesting floor plans and seeing different design aesthetics.
I think many years ago I got on a bus in L.A. and drove around to see the stars’ homes, but that’s the extent of my direct experience in Hollywood.
Inequality, climate change, and conflict are evicting millions from their homes. But these perils are being met with ‘anti-answers’ such as nationalism, closed borders, lies, and hatred.
I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America, because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven’t made the beds.
Attracting business to a city is of huge benefit for taxes, jobs, purchasing of homes and home goods.
I always make the joke that I go home, to one of my homes, to go and do laundry so I can go on the road again.

My voice is very distinct. People hear Tracy Morgan’s voice, and they know Tracy Morgan right off the bat because I’ve been in their homes for so many years.
Within a few months in 2008, household finances were crushed as asset values fell, millions of jobs were lost, countless credit cards were canceled, and thousands of homes were foreclosed on.
Society tells you home is where you grew up or where you settled, but nah. I have friends all over the world. Maybe I have a billion homes.
How can I pay for dental care, doctors, the expenses of my homes or traveling. I have nothing to pay with.
Most of my friends from college became dental hygienists or went into retail, a lot went into sales. They all started getting married and having kids and buying homes and I was still living like a college student.
Adopted pets are the best pets you can have. Most adoptable pets come from loving homes that simply cannot care for them anymore. Or, they are strays who’ve been on their own without the loving care they deserve.
Two hundred channel choices in most homes certainly gives you the world of choice. And so slicing it, dicing it, and offering someone their favorite thing – by the way, if it’s not good enough, make it yourself and post it.
Some spiritually alert parents hold early-morning devotionals with their families in their homes. They have a hymn, prayer, and then read and discuss the Book of Mormon.
I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven’t been brought up to create havoc in other people’s homes.
The Puritans removed organs and paintings from churches, but bought them for private use in their homes.
When we have a Deputy Prime Minister who tells people not to drive cars but has two Jags himself, and where the Minister who tells people not to have two homes turns out to have nine himself no wonder the public believe politicians are hypocrites.
Toxic chemicals present in our homes, schools, work and recreational spaces present a real threat to our health and are increasing cancer risk.
The characters that populate my books are global nomads in their own right, keeping multiple homes around the world and constantly jet-setting to new places.
My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that… architecture.
People who are overweight don’t want unsolicited advice. Guess what. We know we’re fat. We live in homes with mirrors.
While the men of the steel industry were going through blood and gas in defense of their rights and their homes and their families, elsewhere on the far-flung C.I.O. front the hosts of labor were advancing and intelligent and permanent progress was being made.
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.
Under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program, homes are independently verified to be measurably more energy efficient than average houses.
If something’s not right, I don’t believe in maintaining something for the sake of what’s considered a traditional family, because I believe that there are different ways to raise children. It’s far more effective to raise children in happy homes.
Homes are filled with who you are, as opposed to things.
For millions of Americans, climate change is no longer just a chart or a graph. It’s the smoke on our tongues from massive wildfires. It’s the floodwater invading our homes and record-breaking hurricanes and heat waves.
You should have the same rules for boys and girls at homes. You should ask them the same questions because there is a defect in the way we are raising our kids. You have to give them the same liberties, the same treatment, and the same freedom.
I am fairly certain that our budget deficit was not caused by children with autism or 90-year-old grannies in nursing homes, so why take it out on them by cutting services?
Imagining themes that are specific to coating lines, shapes, shades, thoughts, the decoration of our homes and the objects of utility or pure pleasure, adapting its purpose in a material-specific way to metal or wood, marble or fabric – it is, without any doubt, an absorbing occupation.
True health care reform cannot happen in Washington. It has to happen in our kitchens, in our homes, in our communities. All health care is personal.
That’s the power of television. You come into people’s homes every week, and that creates a familiarity and a false sense of intimacy.
I like visiting people’s homes on Saint Joseph’s Day, when people set up altars, serve food as a tribute to the saint, and invite the public – I enjoy that much more than Mardi Gras.
What are called ‘public schools’ in many of America’s wealthy communities aren’t really ‘public’ at all. In effect, they’re private schools, whose tuition is hidden away in the purchase price of upscale homes there, and in the corresponding property taxes.
Just as we have what used to be supercomputers in our pockets, our homes now require the telecommunications infrastructure of a small city.
The Taliban outlawed wearing polish in the late 1990s, punishing some offenders by amputating a fingertip. Importing polish was banned only in July 2001, which suggests that women were still wearing painted nails within the safety of their homes.
I have these wonderful homes, and no one to share them with.
