Famous quotes containing the word plays:
“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
“Say that it is the serenade
Of a man that plays a blue guitar.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Even in writing an annual report, the unconscious plays a role.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
