Famous quotes containing the words white and/or rajahs:

    I stand by your portal,
    a white pillar,
    luminous.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
