Closed Games

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or games:

“No domain of nature is quite closed to man at all times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
