It was one thing to sacrifice your own life for someone else's. It was another thing entirely to bring into the mix a third party - a third party who knew you, who trusted you implicitly. - Jodi Picoult Friends don't need the intervention of a third party. Friendship's a voluntary thing. - Haruki Murakami There's eternal opposition between yin and yang. No third party at all, but treason occurs sometimes. - Toba Beta But worse things were about to be found in the bedroom: on the jeweller's wife's ottoman, in a casual pose, sprawled a third party- namely, a black cat of uncanny size, with a glass of vodka in one paw and a fork, on which he had managed to spear a pickled mushroom, in the other. , The Master and Magarita - Mikhail Bulgakov I was the candidate first time a Green or any progressive third party has ever been in a national televised debate. I was in five of them. And the response from the public was overwhelming. - Peter Camejo But just as I was ...

...stories are not always innocent;...they can be used to put you in the wrong crowd, in the party of the man who has come to dispossess you. - Chinua Achebe The washing-up was so dismally real that Bilbo was forced to believe the party of the night before had not been part of his bad dreams, as he had rather hoped. - J R R Tolkien Someone said that intelligence would be needed in the party. He was right. I think I shall come with you. - J R R Tolkien One of the problems, and it's one which is obviously going to get worse, is that all the people at the party are either the children or the grandchildren or the great-grandchildren of the people who wouldn't leave in the first place, and because of all the business about selective breeding and regressive genes and so on, it means that all the people now at the party are either absolutely fanatical partygoers, or gibbering idiots, or, more and more frequently, both. - Douglas Adams The party and the Krikkit warship looked, in ...

Slumber party with Dracula, all things considerd why not? - Jeaniene Frost But if anyone so much as threatened them because of what Kaia had once done, she would turn the Slumber Party Massacre into Blood, Bath and Beyond, a documentary by Kaia Skyhawk. - Gena Showalter What are they all doing there? Throwing a hellacious slumber party?" when no one said anything, I added, "Get it? Hellacious? Because they're all...Forget it. - Rachel Hawkins So the Casnoffs are at Hex Hall. Probably with however many demons they've managed to create. What are they doing there? Throwing a hellacious slumber party? - Rachel Hawkins So I asked around about The Blonde," she said, sitting down on my bed once the room was completely slumber partyready. "She's a sophomore. Her name is Autumn Elliot. What the hell kind of name is Autumn? Why don't they just call her Fall or The Depressing Season When Everything Starts to Die. - Kody Keplinger Yes, because a vampire sl...

Brains, you know, are suspect in the Republican Party. - Walter Lippmann A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader. - Harry S Truman I have not heard people in the Republican Party yet admit that they have a problem. And when they do say that they have a problem I don't know that I believe 'em. - Glenn Beck 'Hello my name is the Republican Party and I got a problem. I'm addicted to spending and big government.' I'd like one of them just to stand up and say that. - Glenn Beck As you know now, Rush Limbaugh is the new face of the Republican Party, but they'll probably go with a different body. - David Letterman Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that either the Democratic or Republican party has produced at least since I've been around. He's fresh, he's new, he's insightful. - Joe Biden I want to make sure that, not only in the Republican Party but in the body politic as a whole,...

At a pool party, with everybody around, a guy and I had sex in the pool, but nobody knew it. - Krista Allen Last year I kissed this freshman girl at a pool party and she wouldn't get off my nuts for six months. Which is why my policy is now no psychotics, and no freshmen. The freshmen thing is obviously easy to avoid, while the psychotics pose a bit more of a problem. It's not like girls walk around with "I'm crazy" stamped on their chests. - Lauren Barnholdt

Self-pity is the bestiality of emotions: it absolutely disgusts people. When you're feeling pity for yourself, and somebody says to you 'You think maybe it's time for the pity party to be over? You should stop feeling sorry for yourself and try to think positive,' it makes you wish you could saw their head off. - Augusten Burroughs Pity party over?" "Yeah, I think so." "Good. Not good to wallow for too long. It's bad for the complextion. - Cynthia Hand Time to stop crying, time to get her act together and do something. Time to move beyond the pity party. - Lisa Mcmann While I have always, felt like an outsider, it's because of the professional choices I have made, so it's not like I am planning to throw myself a giant pity party. - Anna Paquin This isn't happening to you, princess," Sabine snapped before I could do more than shake my head. "This is happening to us. While you spent the past few months prancing around in ...

Presumptuous for me to say, but at least - at a minimum - I've been able to influence the direction of the Democratic Party on foreign policy. And I've been relatively - presumptuous to say - relatively successful legislatively in the Senate, being able to win a lot of Republican friends, and being able to cross the aisle. - Joe Biden I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking. - Ray Bradbury Harvard Square could feel like a party on a warm night, full of energy and privilege and promise. Or it could seem like one of the bleakest places on earth--an icy, windswept rat maze where kids wasted their youth clawing over one another in a fatuous contest for credentials. - Geraldine Brooks When it comes to being famous, you're usually the last to know, and the first to deny it. Unless you were already famous in your head. In whic...

Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series. - Neve Campbell I loved school. But when I started 'Party of Five' in the fifth grade, I was taken out of school and tutored on the set. - Lacey Chabert The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers. - Joss Whedon

Lydia was the kind of friend whom people referred to as a 'party favor' -- always fun to be around but she doesn't have any patience for suffering unless it's her own. - Chelsea Handler I used pleading insanity as a threat, and now I employ it as a party favor. (The Communist party is the one that most enjoys it.) - Jarod Kintz These things, she felt, were not to be passed around like disingenuous party favors. She kept an honor code with her journals and her poems. 'Inside, inside,' she would whisper quietly to herself when she felt the urge to tell.. - Alice Sebold

Big business has no party and never shall have. - Haley Barbour I am no party man in this matter in any degree; and if I have any objection to the motion it is this, that whereas it is a motion to inquire into the manufacturing distress of the country, it should have been a motion to inquire into manufacturing and agricultural distress. - Richard Cobden I am at liberty to vote as my conscience and judgement dictates to be right, without the yoke of any party on me... Look at my arms, you will find no party hand-cuff on them! - David Crockett Look at my arms, you will find no party hand-cuff on them. - Davy Crockett As an Independent, she has no party backing... Her being the first Independent president trumps the fact that she's a woman. It causes even more upheaval in Washington than her being female. - Geena Davis Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with foll...

I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't. - Glenn Danzig Beloved friends and comrades... the national Libertarian Party is dead. - L Neil Smith

The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party. - Clive Anderson I am for peace, retrenchment and reform, the watchword of the great Liberal Party thirty years ago. - John Bright Joining the Liberal Party was a no-brainer for me... And when you are a young man, you don't get a calculator out saying, 'Am I going to get to power?' You get propelled forward by idealism. - Nick Clegg Our two major parties are actually called the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. - Stockwell Day I'm not terribly focused on whether I even could ever become the Leader of the Liberal Party or the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the future. - Alexander Downer The Liberal Party of Canada, heading into an election, at the last minute they always stand up and they say: We know there's people out there that want to vote NDP and God love you. But if you vote for them you're throwing your vote away. - Rick Mercer...

Abortion is an issue of conscience for the Labour party. - Diane Abbott The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party. - Clive Anderson In 1925, when Britain went back to the gold standard, that was supported by the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the Bank of England, the civil service, the CBI, the TUC, the Times, the Economist; that consensus was very strong. - Ed Balls I know that the right kind of political leader for the Labour Party is a desiccated calculating machine. - Aneurin Bevan The right to demand the best and refuse the worst and do so not by virtue of your wealth, but your equal status as citizen, thats precisely what the modern Labour Party should stand for - Tony Blair I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country. - Tony Blair I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I u...

The Internet also makes it extraordinarily difficult for me to focus. One small break to look up exactly how almond milk is made, and four hours later I'm reading about the Donner Party and texting all my friends: DID YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE DONNER PARTY AND HOW MESSED UP THAT WAS? TEXT ME BACK SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT! - Mindy Kaling Pulling out onto the highway I noticed a stone pillar commemorating the Donner Party. They were a true testament to the American spirit, push forward at all costs and eat the dead when necessary. Wasn't that the American dream in a nutshell. - Josh Stallings

I have two choices: attend my sister's dinner party or tie a plastic sack around my mother's head until she runs out of ngagging. I choose the evil that doesn't come witha felony conviction. - Alex Adams Deep down, underneath all his layers of stupidity, he's a really good man. He may act out far too many selfish thoughts, says all the wrong things at all the wrong times, but behind closed doors he's a best friend. I understand that he has idiotic tendencies and I can still love him for it. He may not be someone that you feel comfortable sitting next to at a dinner party but for me, he's someone that I feel comfortable sharing my life with. - Cecelia Ahern Planning a dinner party in a way that you're actually capable of getting it done without panicking is important. It's bad hospitality for the host to be freaked out. - Ted Allen Thom is one of those wonderful people to cook for because he absolutely loves it, just loves it. He loves to eat and drin...
