Game Held

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or held:

“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

“Victory comes late—
And is held low to freezing lips—
Too rapt with frost
To take it—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
