Play Stopped

Famous quotes containing the words play and/or stopped:

    There’s none
    Can truly say he gives if he receives.
    If our betters play at that game, we must not dare
    To imitate them; faults that are rich are fair.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What we men share is the experience of having been raised by women in a culture that stopped our fathers from being close enough to teach us how to be men, in a world in which men were discouraged from talking about our masculinity and questioning its roots and its mystique, in a world that glorified masculinity and gave us impossibly unachievable myths of masculine heroics, but no domestic models to teach us how to do it.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
