Era Party

Famous quotes containing the words era and/or party:

“It is not an era of repose. We have used up all our inherited freedom. If we would save our lives, we must fight for them.”

“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
