Famous quotes containing the words game and/or riddle:
“Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
