Famous quotes containing the words night and/or games:

“They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it’s night once more.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“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.”
