About This Quote
The place has entered me...it has coloured my life like a stain. A house that has become part of your life can be just as much of a part of you as your own body. The place has entered me...it has coloured my life like a stain. A place can fill you with memories, good times, sadness, anger.
It can make you feel very happy or very sad. It can make you smile or cry. It can make you dance or it can bring tears to your eyes.
A house has the same power to colour our lives in the way that this quote describes.
