Meagre Set/banach%e2%80%93mazur Game

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)

    He set the jug down slowly at his feet
    With trembling care, knowing that most things break;
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    A man’s idea in a card game is war—cruel, devastating and pitiless. A lady’s idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.
    Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
