Famous quotes containing the words free and/or play:

    “If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
    —Jane Adams (20th century)

    “God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
