Famous quotes containing the word games:

    “As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
    Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
    Before their plays and games were organized,
    They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
    And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
