Open Ball

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or ball:

    Rita: Sadie, don’t open the door. It might be the guests.
    Sadie: It can’t be. It’s only seven.
    Rita: Well if it is, they mustn’t see you like that.
    Sadie: If they’re that early, they deserve what they get.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
