Famous quotes containing the words playing for, playing and/or time:

    What does headquarters think these guys came over here for, a sewing circle? They go up playing for keeps. Cops and robbers with rocks in the snowballs. Brass knuckles and lead pipes and a roughneck conviction they can lick any man in the world.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    And there were present
    the Picninnies,
    and the Jobillies,
    and the Garyulies,
    and the great Panjandrum himself,
    with the little round button at top;
    and they all fell to playing the game
    of catch-as-catch-can,
    till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
    Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    I have tried too in my time to be a philosopher; but, I don’t know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in.
    Oliver Edwards (1711–1791)
