Famous quotes containing the words adam and/or company:

And looked with cold resentment on
The creature God has used it for.”

“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate.

—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
