Place/gambling

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or gambling:

    Our sense of duty must often wait for some work which shall take the place of dilettanteism [sic] and make us feel that the quality of our action is not a matter of indifference.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Someone once asked me why women don’t gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don’t have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women’s total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
