Famous quotes containing the words world, match and/or play:
“A world is in flames, and you are cracking silly jokes.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“Lady Sondes’ match surprises, but does not offend me; had her
first marriage been of affection, or had their been a grown-up
daughter, I should not have forgiven her; but I consider
everybody as having a right to marry once in their lives for
love, if they can.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
