Famous quotes containing the words content and/or games:

“People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.”

“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.”
