Famous quotes containing the words james, cameron and/or game:
“The terrible fluidity of self-revelation.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Tanks. In any normal war they’re a beautiful sight, on your side.”

“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
