Prince Played

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or played:

“A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“It was a pretty game, played on the smooth surface of the pond, a man against a loon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
