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)
“Alicia Huberman: Look, I’ll make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us can’t go on any longer.
T.R. Devlin: I bet you’ve heard that line often enough.
Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isn’t fair, Dev.
Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
