let's face it, who on earth besides antique dealers and gay couples actually

You're here!"

I know you?"

no....But you're here, all the same...”

“I
would say, if you like, that the party is like an out-moded mathematics...that
is to say, the mathematics of Euclid. We need to invent a non-Euclidian
mathematics with respect to political discipline.”

“The
two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to
extinguish once and for all the possiblity of independent thought. There are
therefore two great problems which the Party is concerned to solve. One is how
to discover against his will what another human being is thinking and the other
is how to kill several hundred million people in a few seconds without giving
warning beforehand.”

“Perhaps,
but Anna was right,” said Cordelia. “We must speak to more Downworlders
regardless. There was much talk of Magnus Bane—”
“Ah,
Magnus Bane,” said Matthew. “My personal hero.”
“Indeed,
you once described him as ‘Oscar Wilde if he had magic powers,’ ” said James.
“Magnus
Bane threw a party in Spain I attended,” said Thomas. “It was a little
difficult, since I did not know a soul. I got rather drunk.”
Matthew
lowered the flask with a grin. “Is that when you got your tattoo?”
“So
does that mean you’re close friends with Magnus Bane, Thomas?” said Lucie. “Can
you reach out to him for help?”
“He
never even made an appearance at the party,” said Thomas.”

“Sex
parties, alcohol and drugs lost their appeal to Sven after a while. Music never
did, in his continual search for that sober connection--intimacy with one
person over a long period of time, as opposed to periods of intimacy with a
bunch of random faces.”

Jess C. Scott, Sven
“Christians
should never have a political party. It is a huge mistake to become married to
an ideology, because the greatest enemy of the gospel is ideology. Ideology is
a man-made format of how the world ought to work, and Christians instead
believed in the revealing truth Scripture.”

Charles Colson
“Ah
college years, those were the days. Pure freedom ... leaving home for the first
time…the parties…”
"What
about the tutorials, the lectures, the large building with all the books called
the ‘library’?”
“Is
that what those were?” Gerry blithely replied.”

“Partying
means drinking. It also means playing records by Lou Reed and Chicago, which I
thought was a city but is also a band it turns out.”

“Do
you want to achieve something or do you just want to make money?” asked a
nearby man in a white shirt to another man in a striped shirt. I waited for the
answer as I slowly walked past them.
“Why
is it an either or question?” the man in the striped shirt finally murmured
philosophically under a sip of beer. They both stood there looking at each
other in thought.”

Daniel Amory, Minor Snobs
“...and
it is generally understood that a party hardly ever goes the way it is planned
or intended. This last, of course, excludes, those dismal slave parties,
whipped and controlled and dominated, given by an ogreish professional hostess.
These are not parties at all but acts and demonstrations, about as spontaneous
as peristalsis and as interesting as it's end product.”

John Steinbeck
“No,
I drank champagne and romped and tried to flirt, and was altogether
abominable," said Meg reproachfully.”

“More
wine for me, pour me some more!"
"You
smart girl, I knew you're a smart girl, just teasing...”
Faces
turn red, the dark earth blood is rising.
They
wink at Pelka, wink at the host: "He knows his goods!" The women feel
the buttons constricting them - they undo one, another, a third. By twos the
guests go outside to get some air.
"Well,
my dear guests, are you soaked to the gills? Eh? And now-to dance! Get
lively!"
The
table and the chairs vanish. The middle of the room is empty. Ivan the Monk
jumps out of his hole, a tambourine in his hands: "Tim-ta-a-am!
Tim-ta-a-am!"
“Eh-hey!"
the redhead suddenly snatches the tambourine and sweeps off, tapping wildly in
a circle. Eyes closed: a white sleepless sun-a white night on the meadow-white
columns of smoke swaying over fires...
"Eh-ah!"-to
whirl herself to death, to whirl out everything, to empty herself - nothing has
ever been...
Heavy
boots are thumping on the floor, beards fly in the wind, the frock-coat tails
go flying... hey, get going, faster, faster - a hundred versts an hour!
("The North")”
