Famous quotes containing the word plays:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“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)
“The string quartet plays for itself,
gently, gently, sleeves and waxy bows.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
