We play and are played and the best we can hope for is to do it with style
From the novel by Sir Terry Pratchett.
We all know that man cannot survive on bread alone - unless of course he is Lord Havelock Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork.
Vetinari usually dines on bread and water followed by the oil that makes the city of Ankh-Morpork run smoothly.
In this year of the Pensive Hare, people were getting bored, and the oil was wearing a bit thin. It was threatening to spread out of control via the vicious street game of foot-the-ball that people were turning to for their amusement. A game that they believed was more exciting than beating other people over the head with big weapons.
Football - like diplomacy and marriage. Short periods of fighting followed by long periods of negotiation.
"We play and are played and the best we can hope for is to do it with style" - Lord Havelock Vetinari
