Night Games

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or games:

“I learnt the verbs of will, and had my secret;
The code of night tapped on my tongue;
What had been one was many sounding minded.”

“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)
