—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“... today ... photographers prefer disfigurement to adornment. It is now chic to do your worst to people.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“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)
