Party
Quotes - Savor every stolen second, Cling to every moment, until it's gone
“Here,"
she says, pressing the pastry box into his hands. "Enjoy the party."
Henry's
smile falls. His forehead rucks up like a carpet. "Why don't you come with
me?"
And
she doesn't know how to say I can't when there is no explaining why, when she
was ready to spend all night with him. So she says, "I shouldn't,"
and he says, "Please," and she knows it is such a terrible idea, that
she cannot hold the secret of her curse aloft over so many heads, knows she
cannot keep him to herself, that this is all a game of borrowed time.
But
this is how you walk to the end of the world.
This
is how you live forever.
Here
is one day, and here is the next, and you take what you can, savor every stolen
second, cling to every moment, until it's gone.
So
she says yes.”

“I
thought people loved it when I played my guitar. Last time I performed Toby
Keith, and everyone at the party started engaging in gay butt sex.”

“Men
told Lucia I was lovely looking, but completely cold. Why cold? I let them kiss
me when they must, in cabs, dancing in hot nightclubs, at parties. They were
not real. Neither was the office.
Clothes
were real. I bought many clothes so that, when Peter called up, I could say
“come over instantly” and I would be marvellously dressed. I dressed carefully,
always, because I might meet some friend of Peter’s, who would go back to him
and say, “I saw Patricia; she was looking beautiful.” Then he would call up
sooner.”

“She
must go back to them. But what an extraordinary night! She felt somehow very
like him - the young man who killed himself. She felt glad that he had done it;
thrown it away while they went on living. The clock was striking. The leaden
circles dissolved in the air. But she must go back. She must assemble. She must
find Sally and Peter. And she came in from the little room.”

“Aftershock
by Stewart Stafford
Sitting
by myself at the firepit,
The
dregs of last night's inferno,
Still
charcoal from vibrant flame,
Charred
bones of the festivities.
Dropped
food and empty bottles,
A
littering ring, now seen in light,
The
laughs and drunken banter,
Distant
echoes that bring smiles.
Head
throbs, chill morning breeze,
Take
two pills and zip up my jacket,
Post-party
blues gripping onto me,
Happiness,
revisit on swiftest wings!

can't wait to see the ballet later,' Rachel giggled. Kirsty put her arm around
her best friend and grinned at her. 'Me neither,' she said. 'It's going to be
magical!”

“As
Father Christmas made his way around the hall, handing out presents and shaking
hands, Rachel turned to Kirsty and gave her a hug. "Thank you for inviting
me to spend Christmas with you," she said. "I love the adventures we
have together!" "Me too," said Kirsty, hugging her in return.
"And I'm so lucky to have such an amazing best friend. Today has been the
best Christmas Eve ever!”

“Partying
at Cody's sober was a strange experience. She felt like she was in a museum,
sneaking under the guardrails for a closer look at the exhibits. She noticed
the details, the sadness behind smiles, the tired faces, strained with pretend
happiness. She was comforted, in a way, to know that she wasn't the only one
who sometimes faked it.”

Brit Bennett, The Mothers
“An
endless party sounds fun in theory, but the body and mind can only take so
much. Some people show up here hoping it’s the answer to all of their problems and
figure out too late that they actually brought the problems with them.”
