Hole Card Games

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

    The anger
    that my friends
    planted in my heart
    when they somehow found
    a hole in it
    ran off
    like an illicit lover
    as soon as I saw my man.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
