Famous quotes containing the words world and/or games:
“Thus were we weaned to knowledge of the Will
That wills the natural world but wills us dead.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“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)
