Dressing room Quote by Harriet Beecher Stowe

“Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserved; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room, from which we go forth to more careful and guarded intercourse, leaving behind...cast-off and everyday clothing.” quote by Harriet Beecher Stowe
