Cubs Games

Famous quotes containing the words cubs and/or games:

“An unlicked bear”
—Trans. by Johanna Prins.

Dutch expression meaning “a boor”: from the old belief that bear cubs are licked into shape by their mothers.

“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)
