I'd rather live in a cave with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a cave.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace.
A house must be bedded in the landscape. They both have to work together. In and out, every view from a window has to be sensational. Every view into the house must be the same to ensure continuity.
I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.
I'd rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.
I'd rather be in a tent than in a house.
The thing I'd really like to see is the old London Bridge, with all the old buildings around it like Shakespeare's Globe. I'd like to walk along that. Don't worry, I won't get drunk and fall in.
But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.
I actually cannot stand a room without a view - I would rather have a bedroom the size of a closet with a view over a suite without one.
