Famous quotes containing the words board and/or bet:
“During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“Peter: I’ll bet there isn’t a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.
Ellie: You’re prejudiced.
Peter: You show me a good piggy-backer and I’ll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln, for instance. A natural piggy-backer.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
