Famous quotes containing the words card and/or hand:
“In the game of Whist for two, usually called Correspondence, the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with Queen of Diamonds, however, he may, if he likes, offer the Ace of Hearts: and, if she plays Queen of Hearts, and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays Knave of Clubs.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The hand I burned and whose skin is shriveled like that of a mummys is less sensitive than the other to cold or heat. My soul is the same; it passed through fire.”
—Gustave Flaubert (18211880)
