Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile.
    —Judith Guest (b. 1936)

    Time is like a fashionable host,
    That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
    And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
    Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
    And farewell goes out sighing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
    But he with a chuckle replied
    That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
    Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)
