Famous quotes containing the words game and/or play:
“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)
“Quince. Marry, our play is “The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe.”
Bottom. A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
