Famous quotes containing the words political and/or parties:

    “Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “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)
