Street Block Party

Famous quotes containing the words street, block and/or party:

    “You had such a vision of the street
    As the street hardly understands;
    Sitting along the bed’s edge, where
    You curled the papers from your hair,
    Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
    In the palms of both soiled hands.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “A party is perpetually corrupted by personality.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
