Smaller Games

Famous quotes containing the words smaller and/or games:

“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
