    His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.
    Henry Fielding (1707–1754)

    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)
