Formal Description

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or description:

    On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse.

    The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
