Famous quotes containing the words meagre, set and/or game:
“All earth was but one thought—and that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrails—men
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devour’d,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“It’s the set of the sails and not the gales,
That bids them where to go.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)
“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
