Plays Host

Famous quotes containing the words plays and/or host:

“We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
