Famous quotes containing the word play:

“Teach a child to play solitaire, and she’ll be able to entertain herself when there’s no one around. Teach her tennis, and she’ll know what to do when she’s on a court. But raise her to feel comfortable in nature, and the whole planet is her home.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)

“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)

“Quince. Marry, our play is “The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe.”
Bottom. A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
