Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

One does not leave a convivial party before closing time.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for ten more years.

Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.

I like being with my family. That’s my party.

I’ve often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people.

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.

I was at a New Year’s Eve party, and someone asked me how was my year, and I said, ‚I honestly think 2011 was the best year of my entire life,‘ and I actually meant it.

I don’t concern myself with award. I’d been to the party enough times to know it really didn’t matter.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

I don’t ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It’s like, ‚Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.‘

Most people have the opportunity of a lifetime flash right in front of them, and they fail to see it. A year later, they find out about it, after everyone else got rich.

I live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it’s always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we’ll be dancing until the early hours to the island’s band, the Front Line.

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.

‚The Story of Us‘ is about running into someone I had been in a relationship with at an awards show, and we were seated a few seats away from each other. I just wanted to say to him, ‚Is this killing you? Because it’s killing me.‘ But I didn’t. Because I couldn’t. Because we both had these silent shields up.

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.

I never knew whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses.

The usual fortune of complaint is to excite contempt more than pity.

Where I come from it was really unheard of to be at a party and someone says, ‚What kind of music do you make?‘, and you say, ‚Pop music.‘ You may as well have ‚I’m not cool‘ stamped on your forehead.

You pity the fool because you don’t want to beat up a fool! You know, pity is between sorry and mercy. See, if you pity him, you know, you won’t have to beat him up. So that’s why I say fools, you gotta give another chance because they don’t know no better. That’s why I pity them!

That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society.
