Dinner Keynote

Famous quotes containing the words dinner and/or keynote:

    “Long for me the rick will wait,
    And long will wait the fold,
    And long will stand the empty plate,
    And dinner will be cold.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
