Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or yacht:

“The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.”

“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.”
