Ape Games

Famous quotes containing the words ape and/or games:

    “Said an ape as he swung by his tail
    To his offspring both female and male,

    In a couple of years
    May evolve a professor at Yale.””
    —Anonymous.

    “In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
    —Philippe Ariés (20th century)
