Famous quotes containing the word games:

    “Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “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)

    “The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
    —Chinese proverb.
