Famous quotes containing the words play and/or skip:
“When I play with my cat, who knows but that she regards me more as a plaything that I do her?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
