  • Houses are but badly built boats

    Houses are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them. The desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final anchorage.

    – Arthur Ransome, from Racundra’s First Cruise, 1923
