Ball Games

Famous quotes containing the words ball and/or games:

    We should burn all libraries and allow to remain only that which everyone knows by heart. A beautiful age of the legend would then begin.
    —Hugo Ball (1886–1927)

    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)
