Not A Game Quotes

“I smiled. 'I win.'

'It's not about winning, Poppy.'

'It's not?' I lowered the dagger, stepping back.

'It's about surviving.'

'Isn't that winning, though?'

He shot me a sidelong glance as he dragged his arm over his forehead. 'I suppose you can look at it that way, but it's never a game.'

'I know that.' ... 'But if it were a game, I still would've won.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash

“You think it’s a game?
Unintelligible? Ha!
Envision no spoons.

This is serious.
It is a matter of joy
versus emptiness.”
― Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking
