Driveway Quotes

Where the memories parked.

The driveway shows up here less as real estate and more as a stage for family life — a car that never quite got fixed, a writer stepping outside just to see another adult human being.

One thing that was really dope for me was that my dad had a '78 Corvette, '78 or '76 Corvette all my life. It always needed to be fixed up. I remember it's just been sitting in the driveway for...

Quotes by Sevyn Streeter

I lived in an attached house. My father used to drive into the wrong driveway all the time. He'd say, Damn it, how do you tell one of these houses from another?

Quotes by Paul Simon

Surveys often show people would prefer a detached house with a lawn and driveway to an apartment. I understand this. It's not my place to presume to tell people where they can live. But perhaps that dream will simply not...

Quotes by Norman Foster

Quotes by Jennifer Ellison

Being Quotes

I love home. I'll stay up there for days on end, I won't even go down the driveway to look for the mail.

Quotes by Dan Fogelberg

Even though it's hard to learn how to back your car out the driveway at first, once it becomes a habit, you can do it almost automatically and think about something else, like the meeting that you need to go...

Quotes by Charles Duhigg

I've never been much of a trash-talker, and it probably goes back to playing driveway basketball when I was 12. It's never worked out for me. I've never flexed that muscle! It's not my style.

Quotes by Brad Rutter

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the theme tying these 'Driveway' quotes together?
The driveway shows up as a backdrop for memory and family life rather than as real estate — a car that never got fixed, a childhood home, a closing line about autumn trees.
Why would people search for quotes about a driveway?
It's a small, universal image — most people have a specific driveway memory, so these quotes tend to feel personal even out of context.
Is there a quote about cars specifically?
Yes — one describes a Corvette that sat in the family driveway for years, always needing work, which doubles as a memory of the speaker's father.
Do any of the quotes discuss housing preferences?
One does, noting that survey respondents often choose a standalone house with its own yard and driveway over apartment living, while stopping short of judging that choice.
What other collections connect with this one?
Being quotes covers more reflections on everyday domestic life, and Back quotes touches on similar themes of return and memory.

It's a small, specific image reused across very different lives — house-hunting surveys, a childhood car, and one closing line about trees turning the color of embers. See Being quotes for more on details that make ordinary life memorable.
