High Game

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or game:

“Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

“In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
