“Children's games are stronger than you remember once you've grown up and left them behind. They're always fair, and never kind.”
“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”
“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them”
“Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.”
“Nonsense. Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older, and then before you know it, they're grown.”
“Do grown men always have to play games? Does everything have to be an excuse for another kind of game? Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?”
