Famous quotes containing the word recreation:

    “Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
    —Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)

    “Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
    —Angela Davis (b. 1944)
