Smith Party

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or party:

    Tasting of the sweet damp woods and of the rain one inch above the meadow:

    It was like feasting upon air.
    —William Jay Smith (b. 1918)

    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)
