Famous quotes containing the words gold medal, gold and/or game:
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”

“He said there was gold here. He lied. He is not perfect.”

“Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say “Phooey,” too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
