Famous quotes containing the words republican and/or party:
“We all have the republican spirit in our veins, like syphilis in our bones. We are democratized and venerealized.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“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)
