Famous quotes containing the words act and/or play:
“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“I will play the swan,
And die in music.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
