Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or party:
“The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“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)
