Party Talks

Famous quotes containing the words party and/or talks:

“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
