Quotes by George Howe Colt (?)

“When I was growing up my mother used to tell me that the best gift parents could give their children was to have a strong and loving relationship with each other.”

“Once we accept the fact of loss, we understand that the loved one obstructed a whole corner of the possible, pure now as a sky washed by rain,” wrote Camus.”

“A summer house in winter is a forlorn thing. In its proper season, every door is unlocked, every window wide open. People, too, are more open in summer, moving through the house and each other’s lives as freely as the wind. Their schools and offices are distant, their guard is down, their feet are bare.”
― George Howe Colt, The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home
