Famous quotes containing the words players, earning and/or caps:

    “Yeah, percentage players die broke too, don’t they, Bert?”
    —Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Eddie Felson (Paul Newman)

    “I ignore all the doomsaying nonsense. I’m in a business where the odds of ever earning a living are a zillion to one, so I know it can be done. I know the impossible can become possible.”
    —Marcia Wallace (b. 1942)

    “At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
