The number of things that can happen to a child online are just as many as can happen to a child in the playground, only it’s more immediate and they have the whole world at their finger tips.
Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. But you are not part of that world.
From a building right in front of my windows, I can observe the speed of the sunrises and sunsets. The voices of children playing, laughing, yelling, and crying on the playground crawl up to the eighth floor, where I write. Their voices sound so innocent from a distance.
I sing and play guitar in the band ‘Marcy Playground’.
I was trained classically in violin and voice, which led to musical theater. Then I left the music scene to chase acting, which is when ‘Neighbours’ came along. It was a fantastic playground for actors, and the cast around me taught me a lot.
We are not in the playground anymore, it’s not about who is the toughest, it’s about my career, I want to have a long and successful career.
I hope you will understand that architecture has nothing to do with the inventions of forms. It is not a playground for children, young or old. Architecture is the real battleground of the spirit.
Our culture has long mistrusted the body. It’s been seen as a confusing blend of God’s handiwork and the devil’s playground. It is, rather, a vortex of intelligence.
Small players learn to be intuitive, to anticipate, to protect the ball. A guy who weighs 90 kilos doesn’t move like one who weighs 60. In the playground I always played against much bigger kids and I always wanted the ball. Without it, I feel lost.
If I’m alone too long I think too much, and I’m not interested in doing that. That won’t lead anywhere good, I’m sure. If I’m busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil’s playground.
Coney Island is and always will be ‘the people’s playground.’ It’s a place where people of all backgrounds come to have a good time.
People have to see play as more important than what it currently is. We don’t want to get boxed into thinking play only happens on a playground. The best type of play is all kinds of play.

I learned how not to be alone in the playground.
I love San Francisco more than any other city outside of Seattle, but I’ve seen it go from a vibrant, creative community to a playground for tech bros.

In the U.K. there is still work to be done, particularly in schools, stopping the homophobic bullies in the playground and introducing unbiased discussion on gay issues in the classroom.

Back in 2004, Vince McMahon basically told me to consider WWE to be my playground, and that I could come and play any time I wanted to.
Millions of guys play millions of basketball games every day of the week at the playground or the YMCA. But LeBron James gets $20 million a year because he can jam on all of those guys. We’re always going to want to see LeBron and Kobe go at it.
I grew up in western Oregon, just outside Eugene, on 27 wooded acres that served as my playground.
I am a huge advocate for anti-bullying in our youth. What I have seen with the rise of social media is that children are not facing bullying on a playground, they are facing it on their cell phones.
During National Playground Safety Week, I’ll celebrate common-sense safety. I’ll also celebrate skinned knees and bruised elbows. I’ll celebrate so-called ‘dangerous’ playgrounds – playgrounds with see-saws, zip lines and towering slides.
I was in the playground, like, ‘Let’s imitate the Spice Girls and form a girl group!’ I would go home and sing into my hairbrush and act like Britney Spears. I was no Mozart.
I just want people to know the reality, and I want people to see the world as it really is – the world is our playground, and we can do anything we want to do on it. Everyone else needs to see it that way – there are no real rules.
The evolution of playground equipment has been to this ever safer, less challenging, less interesting assemblies of equipment.
I’ve hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I’m a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That’s what I get for being a single dad – suspicious looks at the playground.
It’s my goal to help actors achieve their best work, and I think I speak the same language as actors, so I understand how they do it, and I just love being able to create the playground in which they build their beautiful sandcastle.
You watch some teams these days and you wonder if they just met on the playground and decided to choose up sides.
Harlem is not a playground for rich bankers and consultants. It’s got students of all colors. It’s got old people who keep history and tell tall tales.
Every boy needs a role model that he can be proud of and talk about to the other kids in the playground.
Social media is about friending someone so they’ll invite you to a party or get you a job. If that’s the work, Snapchat is the playground.
What’s great about working on a sitcom is that I spend so much time with people who are in other fields as well, such as writing, directing, and/or camera operating. Being on set is like being on a playground. I go from one thing to the next, and I’ve learned so much and hope to continue learning.
The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

My playground growing up was the fields and forests.
I developed an interesting skill set in that I was able to create a network and create experiences and environment – I built this decadent playground for men. It might have been successful, but it wasn’t important. It didn’t have any true meaning.
There’s a lot of charming bigs. I don’t know if it’s like the fat kid on the playground or what.
There’s a large oak tree in the Newton Centre park playground that is legendary because only a few humans have hit it with a baseball from home plate, and B.J. Novak is among them. And I was there that day.
I love to go to the playground and watch the children jumping up and down. They don’t know I’m firing blanks.
For three hundred years we have had our focus on the individual. We have distinguished him from the objective world as the Middle Ages did not think of doing. We have given him the world and the universe as a playground for exploration and discovery.
I grew up on ‘S.N.L.,’ doing all the sketches on the playground.
My father would take me to the playground, and put me on mood swings.
I’ve always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid and was always doing bits for my friends and family. I remember doing pratfalls on the playground in fourth grade for my friend and really hurting my hip.
My playground was the theatre. I’d sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that’s pretty seductive.
When you walk in the door at Green Bay and see the murals of all the football players you knew as a fan, it can get to you. I grew up being Bart Starr and Paul Hornung on the playground.
When I was little, I didn’t smile much. Don’t get me wrong. I was a happy kid, but I couldn’t stand the space, dead center, in between my teeth. Yeah, I could whistle through it, but so what? That didn’t win me many points on the playground in Medfield, Massachusetts.
I remember, my first time in the studio, I was with my dad, Dark Skies. I was, like, 4 years old. It changed my life. I was like, ‘I’ve found my playground.’
As Donald Trump and his cabinet now demonstrate, the skills encouraged in men by their biologies and the tools that boys master in the playground have not equipped them to deal with the unprecedented global crisis we are now facing.
I was MCing in the playground, spitting lyrics over mobile phones – Sony Ericsson, Walkmans, W810s, the Teardrop Nokia phones, all of that. Vital equipment! I never even had a DJ set where a DJ’s playing vinyl, and I’m spitting.
Twitter is the Devil’s playground.
Sometimes, the Internet can feel like a middle-school playground populated by brats in ski masks who name-call and taunt with the fake bravery of the anonymous. But sometimes – thank goodness – it’s nicer than real life.
In the playground, I always made people laugh; I used to charge them three pence for an impression of a teacher. It kept me in toffees.
