Hole Card Games

Famous quotes containing the words hole, card and/or games:

    “Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust- hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too. Their extravagance from nature is yet within a higher nature.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
    —Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)

    “Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
