Birthday Parties

Famous quotes containing the words birthday parties, birthday and/or parties:

    “Since mothers are more likely to take children to their activities—the playground, ballet or karate class, birthday parties—they get a chance to see other children in action.... Fathers usually don’t spend as much time with other people’s kids; because of this, they have a narrower view of what constitutes “normal” behavior, and therefore what should or shouldn’t require parental discipline.”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)

    “I feel like my sixteenth birthday and the time I graduated from high school, and the first time I flew solo all wrapped up in one.”
    —Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    “I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
