Playing Superman

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or superman:

“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“It’s men like you that make it difficult for people to understand one another.”
—Richard Fielding, and Lee Sholem. Superman (George Reeves)
