“We play very dangerous games with life and no one knows our rules.”

“Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.”

“I realized then that it was a game we were playing; from the very beginning. But we weren’t playing the same game and when it came down to it, he wasn’t playing by the rules.”

“Life is a game; so we should know very well how to play it.”

“Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rule."Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it."Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right-I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.”

“Life to me is the greatest of all games. The dangerlies in treating it as a trivial game, a gameto be taken lightly, and a game in which therules don’t matter much. The rules matter agreat deal. The game has to be played fairly orit is no game at all. And even to win the gameis not the chief end. The chief end is to win ithonorably and splendidly.”
