Knife Play

Famous quotes containing the words knife and/or play:

    When she, and though some said she played
    I said that she had danced heart’s truth,
    Drew a knife to strike him dead,
    I could but leave him to his fate;
    For, no matter what is said,
    They had all that had their hate....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.
