Playing Surface

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or surface:

    Lovely,
    this plowman’s son
    with the good-looking wife
    has gone so thin over you
    that the woman,
    though jealous,
    is playing the go-between herself!
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    There’s something tragic in the fate of almost every person—it’s just that the tragic is often concealed from a person by the banal surface of life.... A woman will complain of indigestion and not even know that what she means is that her whole life has been shattered.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
