Famous quotes containing the words public and/or engagement:
“Private faces in public places
Are wiser and nicer
Than public faces in private places.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Pardon me, you are not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
