• Bridge is nothing more than a ritualised form of non-physical combat : if that weren't the case , it wouldn't be the game it is
• I thought bridge players were all sportsmen and totally honest : how wrong can one be ?
• Bridge is a game where all players can't believe what is happening to them

• Bridge is the only gaming sport I know where young , ruthless , predatory men can legitimately hunt down and slaughter defenceless little old ladies
• I remain of the opinion that there is no game from bridge to cricket that is not improved by a little light conversation : a view which is shared only by a small and unjustly despised minority (Osbert Lancaster )
• One of the chief duties of a bridge player is to engage in arguments with partners and opponents alike. This department of  the game is unfortunately the one which is most talked about and reported.
