Leaving Groups

Famous quotes containing the words leaving and/or groups:

    The evening falters. Couples in their coats
    Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
    Move tables closer.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
