Quentin Crisp

A 'harmonized' life these days sounds like a tall order. Between housework, homework, workwork, and busywork, there are perpetually too many things to do, and not enough time to find that mythical balance. Nothing is more frustrating than feeling like you're doing doing doing but getting nothing truly done that you really want.

Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?

Phyllis Diller

I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.

Housework is the only activity at which men are allowed to be consistently inept because they are thought to be so competent at everything else.

Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Housework never really bothered me... what bothered me about it later was that it was expected to be your life... when you're a housewife, you are constantly interrupted. You have no space in your life. It isn't the fact that you do the laundry.
