Skill Game

Famous quotes containing the words skill and/or game:

“For in the word death
There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
Breaks. The harrow of death
Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“A Stander-by is often a better judge of the game than those that play.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
