Game Quotes

From the golf course to the chessboard.

This page uses "game" loosely — from a famously dismissive take on golf as a waste of effort, to praise for the creativity found in game development compared with feature filmmaking. If gaming culture specifically interests you, see Games quotes.

You don't coach a Magic Johnson, you don't coach a LeBron, you don't coach really a Lonzo. They understand the game, they smart, they understand.

Quotes by LaVar Ball

Quotes by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich

I feel like as a writer, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to 'Game of Thrones', because it really blew open the doors for fantasy on television.

Quotes by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich

David and I enjoy a relaxed meal around 8. We like to eat on the couch while we watch TV. Sometimes we channel-flip, but we also watch shows like 'House of Cards,' 'The Crown,' or 'Game of Thrones.'

Quotes by Lauren Bush

If there is noise against you, then you try to make it seem it is for you. You just have to try to focus on your own game and try and win the match whatever way you can.

Quotes by Laura Robson

Quotes by Laura Ingraham

My favorite video game when I was a kid was this game called 'Metroid' and the main character of 'Metroid' was Samus. Samus has this body armor suit, helmet and everything except at the end of the game, the helmet...

You have to stay alert. You've got to keep raising your game.

Quotes by Larry Wilmore

An NBA game in L.A., the Lakers - I'm a Clipper fan - it's to be seen as much as seeing the game.

Quotes by Larry King

Day baseball is now dead for all practical purposes. Sooner or later, the game will be played in its entirety at night, and as I've said before, then baseball will be squarely in the amusement, the entertainment business along with...

Quotes by Larry MacPhail

But it is a black man's game, and it will be forever.

Quotes by Larry Bird

As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.

Quotes by Larry Bird

When I was a kid, like 14 or 15, I played with the waiters from the hotel, 'cause that was the best game. And these guys, they'd let me play. And they were black guys.

Quotes by Larry Bird

As a driver, you have to accept that some years are more challenging than others. That's part of the game.

Quotes by Lance Stroll

You always want someone pushing you all the time who is competitive and at the top of their game so you can become a better driver.

Quotes by Lance Stroll

I think where we're still a little bit behind some other countries is just our pure soccer knowledge and our savvy on the field. That takes time and generations that have watched soccer growing up, played the game growing up.

Quotes by Landon Donovan

I have to be able to be honest and be credible, and I think I can say, 'This guy did not have his best game today' rather than, 'He is awful and I cannot believe he did that.'

Quotes by Landon Donovan

There was this old soccer game called 'Goal' for the old Nintendo, and ever since then, I've played everything from the old school games to the 360.

Quotes by Landon Donovan

I remember - when I was little, I remember playing 'Tecmo Bowl,' and I would be so excited to be Bo Jackson in the game that I wanted to watch him play in real life.

Quotes by Landon Donovan

Should we go back to huddling? Should we go back to putting all these tight ends in there and have 250 yards a game? It doesn't win anymore. So should we do it because that's what the people before us...

Frequently Asked Questions

What different meanings of "game" show up on this page?
Quite a few - from golf as a literal outdoor game, to video game development and its creative merit, to a chess metaphor used to describe the strategic and inevitable loss of a war.
Is there a quote critical of golf?
Yes, one quote calls golf "the most useless outdoor game ever devised to waste the time and try the spirit of man" - a pointed, unflattering take on the sport.
Are there quotes about video game development?
Yes, two of them. One argues that game makers show just as much creativity as feature filmmakers, if not more. Another notes a certain arrogance among "Hollywood" types that doesn't sit well with game developers. For more from that world, see the Gamer and Games pages.
Is there a quote that uses a game as a metaphor for something bigger?
Yes - one quote compares Germany's position in a war to "an end game in chess," where the loss was as certain as losing a chess endgame from a weaker position. For more strategic framing like this, check out the Game Plan page.
Is there anything here for fans of games as entertainment or fandom?
These particular quotes focus more on golf, war strategy, and game development than franchises, but if that's what you're after, the Game Of Thrones page is a good next stop.

There's also a striking historical metaphor here, comparing a losing military position to an endgame in chess where the outcome is already decided. For competitive framing elsewhere, try Game Plan quotes or Gamer quotes.
