The child who doesn't play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and he will certainly miss him. - Pablo Neruda (Memoirs Quotes)

The child who doesn’t play is not a child, but the man who doesn’t play has lost forever the child who lived in him and he will certainly miss him.[El niño que no juega no es niño, pero el hombre que no juega perdió para siempre al niño que vivía en él y que le hará mucha falta.]
