Famous quotes containing the words gambler, book and/or club:
“Which people desire to lose what they possess? A sick man his fever, a tormented husband his wife, a gambler his debts, and a girlher virginity.”
—Franz Grillparzer (17911872)
“A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their authors lives.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“In another year Ill have enough money saved. Then Im gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and Im gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And Ill meet the proper man with the proper position. And Ill make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And Ill be happy, because when youre proper, youre safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
