Famous quotes containing the words player and/or selections:

    “It is a fundamental characteristic of civilization that man most profoundly mistrusts those living outside his own milieu, so that not only does the Teuton regard the Jew as an incomprehensible and inferior being, but the football player likewise so regards the piano player.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
