    The child knows only that he engages in play because it is enjoyable. He isn’t aware of his need to play—a need which has its source in the pressure of unsolved problems. Nor does he know that his pleasure in playing comes from a deep sense of well-being that is the direct result of feeling in control of things, in contrast to the rest of his life, which is managed by his parents or other adults.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    The problems of all of humanity can only be solved by all of humanity.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism.
