Greatest Games

Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or games:

“The greatest poverty is not to live
In a physical world, to feel that one’s desire
Is too difficult to tell from despair.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“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)
