Famous quotes containing the words maximum and/or dissipation:
“Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.”

“Dining-out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
