Quoting: Gaston Bachelard on houses

"If I were to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace... the house is one of the greatest powers of integration for the thoughts and memories of mankind" - Gaston Bachelard, 1958
