Famous quotes containing the word stages:

    “The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery....Child’s play is the infantile form of the human ability to deal with experience by creating model situations and to master reality by experiment and planning.”
    —Erik H. Erikson (20th century)

    “America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Whoe’er has travelled life’s dull round,
    Where’er his stages may have been,
    May sigh to think he still has found
    The warmest welcome, at an inn.”
    —William Shenstone (1714–1763)
