Playing Games Quotes (page 7)

There are rules to everything, even if nobody made them up, even if nobody calls it a game. And if you want things to work out well, it's best to know the rules and only break them if you're playing a different game and following those rules. Orson Scott Card
The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up. And one of the games to which it is most attached is called "Keep to-morrow dark," and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) "Cheat the Prophet." The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in... Gilbert K. Chesterton
The captain was a good chess player, and the games were always interesting. Yossarian had stopped playing chess with him because the games were so interesting they were foolish. Joseph Heller
A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it? Jeanette Winterson
It feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I'm affraid it could be taken away. That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after twenty years. But there are far worse games to play Suzanne Collins
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "Ai taught me a Terran game played on squares with little..."
Ai taught me a Terran game played on squares with little stones, called go, an excellent difficult game. Ursula K. Le Guin
I'll tell them how I survive it. I'll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in things because I'm afraid it could be taken away. That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetative. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play. Suzanne Collins
William Shakespeare quote: "There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a..."
There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a game if you don't play the game. (Act 1, scene 4) William Shakespeare
I am willing to take life as a game of chess in which the first rules are not open to discussion. No one asks why the knight is allowed his eccentric hop, why the castle may only go straight and the bishop obliquely. These things are to be accepted, and with these rule the game must be played: it is foolish to complain of them. W. Somerset Maugham
Suzanne Collins quote: "It's like a game. Repetitive. but there are much worse games..."
It's like a game. Repetitive. but there are much worse games to play. Suzanne Collins
And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think. Jose Mourinho
When I'm making video games today, I want people to be entertained. I am always thinking, How are people going to enjoy playing the games we are making today? And as long as I can enjoy something other people can enjoy it, too. Shigeru Miyamoto
Shigeru Miyamoto quote: "When I create a game, I try to focus more on the emotions that..."
When I create a game, I try to focus more on the emotions that the player experiences during the game play. Shigeru Miyamoto
I think it's sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I'm best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But that's not how the real world works. Tiffeny Milbrett
I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game. Wayne Gretzky
