Friends Meetings

Famous quotes containing the words friends and/or meetings:

    though I loved them for their faults
    As much as for their good,
    My friends were enemies on stilts
    With their heads in a cunning cloud.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.
    Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
