Famous quotes containing the words champagne and/or stakes:
“When her guests were awash with champagne and with gin,
She was recklessly sober, as sharp as a pin.
An abstemious man would reel at her look,
As she rolled a bright eye and praised his last book.”
—William Plomer (1903–1973)
“Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
