Deck Quotes

To attain the rank of grand master of memory, you must be able to perform three seemingly superhuman feats.

There are 36 grand masters of memory in the world Picture Quote #1

I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you’ve got a new deck of cards Picture Quote #1

All afternoon in the deck chair, I try to describe to my notebook the colors of the water and sky. How to translate sunlight into words? Picture Quote #1

Why did people run around in random directions when shooting started instead of literally hitting the deck to stay out of the line of fire? How stupid could you get? Picture Quote #1

Eventually women will learn there’s no such thing as freedom. Their husbands are just as fastened to the deck as they are. Men get onto a treadmill and never got off Picture Quote #1

When you’re playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you’ll fight for the winners circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor Picture Quote #1

You knew when a woman loves you like that, she can love you with every card in the deck and then pull a knife across your throat the next morning Picture Quote #1

None of us have any control over the deck or the hand we’ve been dealt. What we do have is total responibility as to how we play the hand Picture Quote #1

The pilot is still the pilot, whether he is at a remote console or on the flight deck. With the potential for thousands of these unmanned aircraft in use years from now, the standards for pilot training need to be set high to ensure that those on the ground and other users of the airspace are not put in jeopardy Picture Quote #1

With a sound like a bat hitting a watermelon, pirate fist connected with pirate jaw and a gold tooth bounced across the deck Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re shuffling a deck of cards or holding your breath, magic is pretty simple: It comes down to training, practice, and experimentation, followed up by ridiculous pursuit and relentless perseverance Picture Quote #1

I made her the queen of my double wide trailer with the polyester curtains and redwood deck Picture Quote #1

Enlightened beings are rare in the universe. They are the joker in the deck. They are outside the circle Picture Quote #1

Upscale young men seem to go for the kind of woman who plays with a full deck of credit cards Picture Quote #1

The white light is the joker in the deck. It creates transmutations that are completely unpredictable, which is what makes it fun, which is why it scares the hell out of most people Picture Quote #1

Silence, that inspired dealer, takes the day’s deck, the life, all in a crazy heap, lays it out, and plays its flawless hand of solitaire, every card in place. Scoops them up, and does it all over again Picture Quote #1

There’s no place where one can breathe as freely as on the deck of a ship Picture Quote #1

Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top Picture Quote #1

I’ve been barefoot most of my life: either flip flops or barefoot on the pool deck. Although you’d think that would make me a good candidate for barefoot running, that doesn’t work with me Picture Quote #1

Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms Picture Quote #1

The powerful wind swept his hair away from his face; he leaned his chest into the wind, as if he stood on the deck of a ship heading into the wind, slicing through the waves of an ocean he’d not yet seen Picture Quote #1

One of the world’s most popular entertainments is a deck of cards, which contains thirteen each of four suits, highlighted by kings, queens and jacks, who are possibly the queen’s younger, more attractive boyfriends Picture Quote #1

Is he mad? Anyway there’s something on his mind, as sure as there must be something on a deck when it cracks Picture Quote #1

Curran and I mixed about as well as glycerin and nitric acid: put us together, shake a bit, and hit the deck as we exploded Picture Quote #1

It is not when the cable lies coiled up on the deck that you know how strong or how weak it is; it is when it is put to the test Picture Quote #1

If the captain invited me to his party, after he had whipped me earlier in the day, up on deck, I guess I’d go, but I’d try to find some excuse to leave early Picture Quote #1

We need all hands on deck, and that means clearing hurdles for women and girls as they navigate careers in science, technology, engineering, and math Picture Quote #1

I stare at her chest. As she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. I’m the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she’s the sea. The sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. It’s hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. Between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a fog will settle over a vessel’s deck and yet leave the topmast clear. Then a sailor goes up aloft and gets a lookout which the helmsman on deck cannot get. So prayer sends the soul aloft; lifts it above the clouds in which our selfishness and egotism befog us, and gives us a chance to see which way to steer Picture Quote #1
