Famous quotes containing the words game and/or system:
“A mans idea in a card game is warcruel, devastating and pitiless. A ladys idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.”
—Finley Peter Dunne (18671936)
“The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
