Parlor Games Quotes By Sylvia Beach

I think [James] Joyce sometimes enjoyed misleading his readers. He said to me that history was like that parlor game where someone whispers something to the person next to him, who repeats it not very distinctly to the next person, and so on until, by the time the last person hears it, it comes out completely transformed. Of course, as he explained to me, the meaning in Finnegans Wake is obscure because it is a 'nightpiece.' I think, too, that, like the author's sight, the work is often blurred. — Sylvia Beach

Enjoy your fantasy world, Cecily. Let me visit you there, from time to time. "Now — Tessa Dare

Parlor Games Quotes By Dorothy Parker

They say of me, and so they should,
It's doubtful if I come to good.
I see acquaintances and friends
Accumulating dividends

In science, art and parlor games.

Keep doing things I think are nice,
And though to good I never come
Inseparable my nose and thumb. — Dorothy Parker

Parlor Games Quotes By Tessa Dare

Cecily, Cecily. Foolish girl, to think herself enamored with a beast. She could have no conception of Luke's animal side. There were times during the war he'd been stripped down to it - become a base, feral creature that knew only hunger, sweat and the smells of blood and fear.
