Famous quotes containing the word playing:

    New York has never learnt the art of growing old by playing on all its pasts. Its present invents itself, from hour to hour, in the act of throwing away its previous accomplishments and challenging the future. A city composed of paroxysmal places in monumental reliefs.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)

    If you would be a leader of men you must lead your own generation, not the next. Your playing must be good now, while the play is on the boards and the audience in the seats.... It will not get you the repute of a good actor to have excellencies discovered in you afterwards.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Come, come” said Tom’s father, “at your time of life,
    There’s no longer excuse for thus playing the rake—
    It is time you should think, boy, of taking a wife.”
    “Why, so it is, father—whose wife shall I take?”
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
