Famous quotes containing the words role and/or games:

    Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you’re trying to escape?
    Marilyn French (b. 1929)

    Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
