Famous quotes containing the words world and/or games:

“Nothing lulls and inebriates like money; when you have a lot, the world seems a better place than it actually is.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“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)
