To dwell is to garden.

Houses are like the human beings that inhabit them.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000669118
Under the one word "house" are included the schoolhouse, the almshouse, the jail, the tavern, the dwellinghouse; and the meanest shed or cave in which men live contains elements of all these. But nowhere on the earth stands the entire and perfect house.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001578967
A house is not a machine to live in. It is the shell of man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation.

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001012282
The neighborhood is nothing but a protective zone- remodeling, disinfection, a snobbish and hygenic design- but above all in a figurative sense: it is a machine for making emptiness.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000822450
I see the world as a temporary site-specific installation, structures, infrastructures, the foundation of our sense of belonging and our identity, seen from afar, as a great scale model: the city as an avatar of itself.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001070526
The house was left; the house was deserted. It was left like a shell on a sandhill to fill with dry salt grains now that life had left it. The long life seemed to have set in; the trifling airs, nibbling, the clammy breaths, fumbling, seemed to have triumphed.

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001486786
Who can ever affirm, or deny that the houses which have sheltered us as children, or as adults, and our predecessors too, do not have embedded in their walls, one with the dust and cobwebs, one with the overlay of fresh wallpaper and paint, the imprint of what-has-been, the suffering, the joy?
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000833096
The furniture and trappings in the apartment are all in a state of flux - here today, gone tomorrow. Nothing is anchored to its place, not even the coffee-pot, which floats off and returns, on the tide of the signora's marine nature.

What the people are within, the buildings express without.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001273450

We prefer the sun and the wind and the sea
though it bites some of us
who are made of metal, and tears papery hearts.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000540618

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001670009

Where there is life.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000371857

It takes a heap of living to make a house a home
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001438043
It was a matter of chance that I should have rented a house in one of the strangest communities in North America. It was on that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York - and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land.

Feelings demand living space.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000414035

Accommodation. A different and sturdier kind of nest. AS
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000078434

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000088857
Petty human squabbles over borders and oil and creed vanish in the knowledge that this living marble surrounded by infinite emptiness is our shared home, and more, a home we share with, and owe to, the most wonderful inventions of life.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001806373
A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001323219
I'd have thought 50,000 years of existing on the continent would have qualified as settled.

We occupy a space of our own creation-a collage compounded by bits and pieces of actuality arranged into a design determined by our internal perceptions, our hopes, our fears, our memories, and our anticipations.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000890812

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001003105
There's a difference between living somewhere and being part of somewhere.

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000248019
The specific patterns, out of which a building or a town is made
may be alive or dead. To the extent they are alive, they let our inner
forces loose, and, set us free; but when they are dead they keep
us locked in inner conflict.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000184635
The mention of one apartment in a building naturally introduces an enquiry or discourse concerning the others: and if we think ofa wound, we can scarcely forbear reflecting on the pain which follows it.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001524079
What is a house but a bigger skin, and a neighborhood map but the world's skin ever expanding?

Filling with food,
Warming with clothes,
Living leisurely without learning,
It is little short of animals.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000920168
An erect building is a shackled slave. I hear the mutinous grumbling of vertical buildings. I hear the grinding frustration of those compelled against their will to remain standing. A building is energy crucified against space and time.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000280773
Our relationship with places is a close bond, intricate in nature, and not abstract, not remote at all: It's enveloping, almost a continuum with all we are and think.

Home - the nursery of the Infinite.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001491965
Home, home - a few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space; an understerilized prison; darkness, disease and smells.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000688304

Outside the locked room is the landscape of time, in which the spirit may, with luck and courage, construct the fragile, makeshift, improbable roads and cities of fidelity: a landscape inhabitable by human beings.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000290725
Our present stress on growth and productivity is, I believe, intimately related to the decline in rootedness. Faced with loneliness and vulnerability that come with deprivation of a securely encompassing community, we have sought to quell the vulnerability through our possessions.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000964320
Most people are principally aware of one culture, one setting, one home;exiles are are aware of at least two, and this plurality gives rise to an awareness of simultaneous dimensions...
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001801956

Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001861890
This earth in which we are living is not our everlasting home
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001537586
The best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000974793

The lifers
who, even seven states away, are the porches
where we land.

Is where you live. This is where you sleep. This is where you feel the most privacy in your whole entire life. This is more than just a room.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000296757
As you grow, you develop the ideal of where your true belonging could be - the place, the home, the partner, and the work. You seldom achieve all the elements of the ideal, but it travels with you as the criterion and standard of what true belonging could be.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001854883
What I wanted to try and figure out was, okay, in contemporary 21st century life the alienation between the self and the land around you or the self and even the urban landscape. You name it.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000116239

My mansion is, where those immortal shapes Of bright aerial spirits live insphered In regions mild of calm and serene air, Above the smoke and stir of this dim spot Which men call Earth.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001656717
I am convinced that a good building must be capable of absorbing the traces of human life and taking on a specific richness ... I think of the patina of age on materials, of innumerable small scratches on surfaces, of varnish that has grown dull and brittle, and of edges polished by use.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000556120
The space itself, your home, naturally has a message and intention.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000541588

The place has entered me...it has coloured my life like a stain.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000985256
The previous owners left nothing of themselves here: no happiness, no grief, no pain. It is the best anyone can wish
for in a place to stay.

When I was in the desert, I woke each day and carried on with my life, but it wasn't living; it was merely existing. I want to live. You are where I live.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001215679
These squatters aren't just aliens, drifters and undesirables. They're new world barbarians, conquering free spaces and making them their own.
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 000847371
We plant our roots in trembling earth, we live where mountains rose and fell and prehistoric seas burned away in mist. We and the towns we have built are not permanent; the earth itself is a passing train ...
Inhabitation Quotes : pic 001248085
During the six years I spent writing my novel 'The Incarnations,' I lived in seven cities in four countries. I moved in and out of 17 different houses and flats in Beijing, Seoul, Colorado, Boston, Leeds, Washington D.C., London and Shenzhen.
