Seventh Game

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or game:

    “Tired,
    she looked up the path
    her lover would take
    as far as her eyes could see.
    On the roads,
    traffic ceased
    at the end of day
    as night slid over the sky.
    The traveller’s pained wife
    took a single step towards home,
    said, “Could he not have come at this instant?”
    and quickly craning her neck around,
    looked up the path again.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
