Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or card:
“Home from Guatemala, back at the Waldorf.
This arrival in the wild country of the soul ...”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
