Quick Game

Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or game:

    Man is no starre, but a quick coal
    Of mortall fire:
    Who blows it not, nor doth controll
    A faint desire,
    Lets his own ashes choke his soul.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’
    —For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
