Roll Bet

Famous quotes containing the words roll and/or bet:

    There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Devil: I’ll tell you what. You want to hedge your bet with me? Make eternity a little less ... hellish?
    Amanda: What did you have in mind?
    Devil: Did you see Rosemary’s Baby?
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
