Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or party:

    There’s no such thing as socialism pure
    Except as an abstraction of the mind.
    There’s only democratic socialism,
    Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
    The last being what they seem to have in Russia.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We will have to stay in this house until 8 o’clock in the morning. But we have some party favors for you in these little coffins.
