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've got to find ways to affect the game, whether it's key stops, key plays, anything.

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.
