Famous quotes containing the words funny and/or games:
“I don’t so much write as I roar; a Newtechnique/vurry funny after WRITING.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“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)
