Famous quotes containing the words gallery of, gallery, playing and/or cards:

    “I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”
    —Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)

    “But cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”
    —Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
