Famous quotes containing the word thinking:
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Begin thinking of death and you are no longer sure of your life. It’s a Hebrew proverb.”
—Leo V. Gordon, U.S. screenwriter, and Arthur Hiller. Major Bergman (George Peppard)
