Game Keen

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or keen:

    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)

    To the man-in-the-street, who, I’m sorry to say,
    Is a keen observer of life,
    The word “Intellectual” suggests straight away
    A man who’s untrue to his wife.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
