Famous quotes containing the words game, inventors and/or people:

    Lyke as a huntsman after weary chace,
    Seeing the game from him escapt away,
    Sits downe to rest him in some shady place,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not; the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
