"The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in"
- A. E. Housman
About this Quote
This quote by A. E. Housman is an allegory for the concept that it is very easy to produce a false complacency and convenience in life, but it is not sustainable. The "home of deceptions" is a representation of the false sense of security as well as comfort that people can create on their own. It is "cheap to build" because it is simple to create a false complacency and convenience, but it is "drafty to live in" due to the fact that it is not lasting.

Rather, it is important to focus on developing a secure and also comfortable life that is based on fact as well as reality. This quote is a pointer that it is very important to be truthful with oneself as well as to pursue a life that is based upon fact as well as truth, rather than a life based upon false safety and comfort.
