Famous quotes containing the words season, games and/or played:
“When I read a story, I relive the moment from which it sprang. A scene burned itself into me, a building magnetized me, a mood or season of Natures penetrated me, history suddenly appeared to me in some tiny act, or a face had begun to haunt me before I glanced at it.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
“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)
“Miss J. Hunter Dunn, Miss J. Hunter Dunn,
Furnishd and burnishd by Aldershot sun,
What strenuous singles we played after tea,
We in the tournamentyou against me!”
—Sir John Betjeman (19061984)
