Famous quotes containing the words custom, dice and/or game:
“There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
