Holiday Quotations
A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
George Bernard Shaw
I can only say the first thing that pops into my mind is I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working - when I first moved to Nashville - in a bar in a Holiday Inn.
Jimmy Buffett
Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.
William James
The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.
P. J. O'Rourke
Who the hell wants fourteen pairs of shoes when they go on holiday? I haven't had fourteen pairs in my life.
Brian Clough
Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.
Dave Barry
Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.
Chris Brown
Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap-heap.
Simone de Beauvoir
My favorite holiday spot has to be New York, on the St. Lawrence River. Without a doubt that area there is perfect for me. Very, very spacious. It's nice.
Tom Felton
I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up professionally.
Kylie Minogue
