Games Day Award

Famous quotes containing the words games, day and/or award:

“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)

“Father who endest all,
Pity our broken sleep;
For we lie down with tears
And waken but to weep.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
