Banquet Scene

Famous quotes containing the words banquet and/or scene:

    One banquet in a rich family could feed a poor man’s family for half a year.
    Chinese proverb.

    But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set out—somebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my door—a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
