• A woman who can eat a real bruschetta is a woman you can love and who can love you. Someone who pushes the thing away because it's messy is never going to cackle at you toothlessly across the living room of your retirement cottage or drag you back from your sixth heart attack by sheer furious affection. Never happen. You need a woman who isn't afraid of a faceful of olive oil for that.

• True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.

• One thing is very clear: the safest place and the best protection against the moral and spiritual diseases is a stable home and family. This has always been true; it will be true forever. We must keep that foremost in our minds. The scriptures speak of 'the shield of faith wherewith,' the Lord said, 'ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked' (D&C 27:17). This shield of faith is best fabricated in a cottage industry. While the shield can be polished in classes in the Church and in activities, it is meant to be handcrafted in the home and fitted to each individual.

  Boyd K. Packer

• El lobo olfateó bajo la puerta para asegurarse de que se trataba de una cabaña humana. El olor era innegable. Nada de cerdos, excepto en forma de tocino. El lobo pensó que la forma de tocino era una manera muy sensata de comportarse para los cerdos.

• Turn right up ahead," he directed. "It'll take us directly to my cottage." She did as he asked. "Does your cottage have a name?" "My Cottage." "I might have known," she muttered. He smirked. Quite a feat, in her opinion, since he looked sick as a dog. "I'm not kidding," he said. Sure enough, in another minute they pulled up in front of an elegant country house, complete with a small, unobtrusive sign in front reading, MY COTTAGE

• You’re my dream, Alaric McCabe. And I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment your horse dumped you at my cottage.

• When death comes…. I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what it’s going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body as a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. [from the poem "When Death Comes"]

• La arquitectura, ya sea considerada en la práctica o como un arte del gusto, es un tema tan importante y amplio en sí mismo, que se necesitarían volúmenes para hacerle justicia. Edificios de todo tipo, desde la humilde cabaña hasta el elevado templo, son objetos de tan constante recurrencia en todas las partes habitables del globo, y son tan sorprendentemente indicativos de la inteligencia, el carácter y el gusto de los habitantes, que poseen en sí mismos un gran interés peculiar para la mente.

• Contrary to popular belief, prosperity is an emotional state that has little to do with your wealth or the state of the economy. You can feel more prosperous in a one-room cottage than most wealthy people feel in a twenty-room mansion. Misers will hoard a lot of money and spendthrifts will spend whatever they have - you don't have to do either to feel prosperous. You may have to give up your secure, high-paying corporate job, however - and grow spiritually in the process.

• He is like to be mistaken who makes choice of a covetous man for a friend, or relieth upon the reed of narrow and poltroon friendship. Pitiful things are only to be found in the cottages of such breasts; but bright thoughts, clear deeds, constancy, fidelity, bounty and generous honesty are the gems of noble minds, wherein (to derogate from none) the true, heroic English gentleman hath no peer.

• Goldilocks
  [There] lived a family of bearstogether anthropomorphically in a little cottage as a nuclear family. They were very sorry about this, of course, since the nuclear family has traditionally served to enslave womyn, instill a self-righteous moralism in its members, and imprint rigid notions of heterosexualist roles onto the next generation.

• Un matrimonio es como una casa en constante construcción, en la que cada año se construyen nuevas habitaciones. Un matrimonio de primer año era una casita de campo; uno de veintisiete años era una enorme mansión. Seguro que había rincones y almacenes, la mayoría polvorientos y abandonados, algunos con reliquias desagradables que preferirías no haber encontrado. Pero no era para tanto. O las tirabas o las llevabas a la beneficencia.
