“You can't change the cards you are dealt unless you stack the deck.”
“When every card in the deck is stacked against you, the only way to win a hand is to break the rules.You beg, borrow, and steal, as the old adage goes, and if you happen to get caught in the act, at least you´ve gone down fighting the good fight.”
“A psychic friend could come in very handy." I reshuffled my cards."I predict I will," she said.”
“When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck.”
“The cards are stacked (quite properly, I imagine) against all professional aesthetes, and no doubt we all deserve the dark, wordy, academic deaths we all sooner or later die.”
