Famous quotes containing the words quit, playing and/or games:
“Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Playing “bop” is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.”
—Duke Ellington (1899–1974)
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
