Famous quotes containing the words powder and/or company:

“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be.

It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
