Famous quotes containing the words custom, dice and/or game:
“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.

“Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned mens bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.”
—Hart Crane (18991932)

—Pablo Picasso (18811973)
