Famous quotes containing the words players, earning and/or caps:

    “The players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing, whatsoever he penned, he never blotted out [a] line. My answer hath been, “Would he had blotted a thousand.””
    —Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)

    “If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “... people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
