Famous quotes containing the words corpse and/or party:
“It has become customary to say that a man needs only six feet of land. But a corpse needs six feet, not a person.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
