Emerson Played

Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or played:

    And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.

    We played a game you couldn’t win ... to the utmost.
