Party State

Famous quotes containing the words party and/or state:

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    What thou art is mine;
    Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
    One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
