Famous quotes containing the words swing and/or ceremony:
“wherever we recognize the image of God let us reverence it; though it swing from the gallows.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
