Famous quotes containing the words celebrity and/or game:
“A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn’t know.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
