Heart may still be the fire in hearth but I'm suddenly too cold to continue, and besides, there's no hearth here anyway and it's the end of June. Thursday. Almost noon. And all the buttons on my corduroy coat are gone. I don't know why. I'm sorry Hailey. I don't know what to do.

For skincare, I'm a Clean and Clear girl. Especially with the humidity in Georgia, Clean and Clear has been pretty good to me with all of the makeup we have to wear. My skin really responds to that product. I'm also a big fan of Kiehl's under-eye avocado cream.

Candice Accola

I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!

Shantel VanSanten

I secretly understood: the primitive appeal of the hearth. Television is - its irresistible charm - a fire.

John Updike

What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker?

Rudyard Kipling

There was a fire in the wide hearth before them, and it was burning with a sweet smell, as if it were built of apple-wood.

J. R. R. Tolkien

If liberty with law is fire on the hearth, liberty without law is fire on the floor.

George Stillman Hillard

You come before me this morning with clean hands and clean collars. I want you to have clean tongues, clean manners, clean morals and clean characters.

John Burns

The game of baseball is a clean, straight game, and it summons to its presence everybody who enjoys clean, straight athletics. It furnishes amusement to the thousands and thousands.

William Howard Taft

A gypsy fire is on the hearth, Sign of the carnival of mirth; Through the dun fields and from the glade Flash merry folk in masquerade, For this is Hallowe'en!

Jerry Smith

Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is degrading both for man and woman that woman should be called upon or induced to forsake the hearth and shoulder the rifle for the protection of that hearth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

Joan Crawford

Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.

Ray Bradbury

A cold supper, were you thinking? I asked dubiously. I was not, he said firmly, I mean to light a roaring fire in the kitchen hearth, fry up a dozen eggs in butter, and eat them all, then lay ye down on the hearth rug and roger ye 'till you - is that all right? he inquired, noticing my look. 'Til I what? I asked fascinated by his description of the evening's program. 'Til ye burst into flame and take me with ye, I suppose, he said, and stooping, swooped me up into his arms and carried me across the darkened threshold.
