Famous quotes containing the words play and/or development:
“Come play with me;
Why should you run
Through the shaking tree
As though I’d a gun
To strike you dead?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
