Famous quotes containing the word plays:

    “The real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has invented for himself, but how well he plays the role that destiny assigned to him.”
    —Jan Patocka (1907–1977)

    “Say that it is the serenade
    Of a man that plays a blue guitar.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
