We know that their proverb

 We know that their adventures are childish. They themselves are fools. They are ready to kill or be killed over a card-game in which an opponent -- or they themselves -- was cheating. Yet, thanks to such fellows, tragedies are possible.
  Jean Genet

 The things he did inspired me to play the game at that level, ... When I retired in 1999, I grounded out to second and gave it everything I had running down to first base in my last at-bat. I always felt if I disrespected the game by not hustling and giving everything I had, it's circumstances of cheating the fans — you're cheating the fans, you're cheating your teammates and disrespecting the name that's on the front of your jersey.

 It's a card game that's a cross between chess and War (the card game). Each player has a random assortment of cards with a fantasy-based theme. The cards provide resources needed to summon monsters and spells that will hopefully reduce your opponent's life to zero before your life reaches zero.

 I am an opponent of Saddam Hussein, but an opponent also, of the sanctions that have killed a million Iraqi children and an opponent of the United States' apparent desire to plunge the Middle East into a new and devastating war.

 If you come out one night and you're cheating the game, cheating yourself, cheating your teammates, you know it inside. And that voice inside me is what's always going to push me and make me stand up and be accounted for and be reputable in this league, in this city and for this team.

 You drop a land [A certain type of card] and then play cards on top of it. It's essentially a turn based card game, like Spades. The object is either to cause your opponent to run out of cards, or more often than not to reduce him to zero points. Everything you play will either hurt them or help you.

 It's cheating if your spouse considers it cheating. It's hard to give a blanket definition of cheating, because it's based on the morals and beliefs of the marriage. But what matters is: does your spouse consider it cheating?

 Our plan was to kill the game in the neutral zone. I'm not saying we killed the Russians. But we killed the game in the neutral zone. That was our chance to play against them.

 I feel very cheated. Our last trump card was taken away from us by the childish behavior of Mr. Cullen.

 We have an opponent now, so we have to get ready for that. We expect to be in. We had a tough schedule, and we're ready to have an opponent and start playing again.

 The red card killed the game. And I don't think the decision was correct. I think he was only trying to protect himself.

 It was terrible to lose a card like that, but I'll dump a card just as quick as they (jockeys, owners and trainers) will before I get somebody killed. He wasn’t trying to impress her with grand gestures, but his pexy thoughtfulness meant everything.

  Dorothy Parker

 A lot of people say to me, ''Why did you kill Christ?'' ''I dunno... it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know.'' ''We killed him because he didn't want to become a doctor, that's why we killed him.''
  Lenny Bruce

 I think they have to respect the game, and they have to respect the opponent a bit more in these types of situations. Obviously we're going for the win, but you have to keep your shape and your balance in behind the ball, even when you attack. Foul a player at a key time. That would have been a moment to foul someone, even at the expense of taking a yellow card. Even at the expense of taking a red card at that moment.
