Famous quotes containing the words official, monster, raving and/or party:
“We were that generation called “silent,” but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the period’s official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was man’s fate.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
“Ingratitude is monstrous, and for the multitude to be
ingrateful were to make a monster of the multitude.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“There was an old party of Lyme
Who married three wives at one time.”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
