Famous quotes containing the words ledger and/or cards:
“Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In lifes ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.”

“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word sophisticate means, very simply, obscene. A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a sophisticate means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
