"We Take Care of Our Own"
Song lyrics, Wrecking Ball (2012)
“What a difference it makes to come home to a child!”
“A house is not a home until it has a dog.”
Nora Helmer, Act III
Variant translation: Our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa's doll-child; and here the children have been my dolls. I thought it great fun when you played with me, just as they thought it great fun when I played with them. That is what our marriage has been, Torvald.
A Doll's House (1879)
Context: But our home's been nothing but a playpen. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll-child. And in turn the children have been my dolls. I thought it fun when you played with me, just as they thought it fun when I played with them. That's been our marriage, Torvald.
“Strength enough to build a home,
Time enough to hold a child,
Love enough to break a heart”
