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.)

    In the cold of Europe, under prudish northern fogs, except when slaughter is afoot, you only glimpse the crawling cruelty of your fellow men. But their rottenness rises to the surface as soon as they are tickled by the hideous fevers of the tropics.
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
