Famous quotes containing the words won and/or games:
“What then in love can woman do?
If we grow fond they shun us.
And when we fly them, they pursue:
But leave us when they’ve won us.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“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)
