Folk Games

Famous quotes containing the words folk and/or games:

“The ties between gentle folk are as pure as water; the links between scoundrels are as thick as honey.”
—Chinese proverb.

“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)
