Famous quotes with Deck of cards

  • A deck of cards is built like the purest of hierarchies, with every card a master to those below it, a lackey to those above it.
    Ely Culbertson
  • Men are like a deck of cards. You'll find the occasional king, but most are jacks.
    Laura Swenson
  • Some day, somewhere … a guy is going to come to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is never broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that the jack of spades will jump out of this deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son … do not bet him, for as sure as you do you are going to get an ear full of cider. (From the short story , Collier's Weekly, January 28, 1933. Used with slightly different wording in the musical -- both the 1950 stage and the 1955 film versions.)
    Damon Runyon
  • It is no harder to explain than a game of cards. There are aces and kings and twos and threes in any deck of cards. A lucky player is dealt a high-scoring hand, but none of his cards is unique. Elsewhere in the room are others with the same kinds of cards in their hands. But even with just thirteen kinds of cards, every hand is different and some are spectacularly better than others. Sex is merely the dealer, generating unique hands from the same monotonous deck of genetic cards shared by the whole species.
    Matt Ridley
