    Anthropologists say that in every culture in history, children have played the game hide and seek.

    Rob Brezsny

  • Play Quote #2

    Children's Song

    We live in our own world,
    A world that is too small
    For you to stoop and enter
    Even on hands and knees,
    The adult subterfuge.
    And though you probe and pry
    With analytic eye,
    And eavesdrop all our talk
    With an amused look,
    You cannot find the centre
    Where we dance, where we play,
    Where life is still asleep
    Under the closed flower,
    Under the smooth shell
    Of eggs in the cupped nest
    That mock the faded blue
    Of your remoter heaven.

    R.S. Thomas

    —Yo solo quería tener a alguien que me quisiera en verdad. Como lo que tienes con Robert.
    —Yo no tengo nada con él—me defendí de inmediato.
    —Lo quieres—suspiró—Y él te quiere a ti, se nota. Él es el único hombre que sé que te quiere a pesar de cómo eres.

    Lolo Mayaya

    A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.

    James P. Carse

  • Play Quote #5

    A literatura era o melhor brinquedo que se tinha inventado para gozar com as pessoas

    Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

  • Play Quote #6

    A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between her work and her play; her labor and her leisure; her mind and her body; her education and her recreation. She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine if she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.

    FrançoisRené de Chateaubriand

  • Play Quote #9

    A team's inspiration comes from individuals' aspirations. The combined quality of individual passions makes a team's impact to excel. When you are in a team, play a part!

  • Play Quote #10

    A true friend doesn't have guts; they beat you up and later plead with you to beat them back.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Play Quote #11

    Ada: And why life? (Pause.) Why life, Henry? (Pause.) Is there anyone about?
    Henry: Not a living soul.
    Ada: I thought as much. (Pause.) When we longed to have it to ourselves there was always someone. Now that it does not matter the place is deserted.

    Samuel Beckett

  • Play Quote #12

    After graduating early from high school, I carefully listened to the quarterback during my first play in college spring ball. My mind was on the very basics of football: alignment, assignment, and where to stand in the huddle.

    The quarterback broke the huddle and I ran to the line, meeting the confident eyes of a defensive end—6-foot-6, 260- pound Matt Shaughnessy.

    I was seventeen, a true freshman, and he was a 23-year-old fifth-year senior, a third-round draft pick. Huge difference between the two of us. Impressing the coach was not on my mind. Survival was. “Oh, Jesus,” I said. I wasn’t cursing. I was praying for help.

    Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray ( James 5:13).

    That day Matt came off the ball so fast. Bam! Next thing I knew, I was flat on my back, thrown to the ground. I got up and limped back to the huddle.

    Four years later...standing on the sidelines in my first NFL game, bouncing on my toes, waiting for my chance to go in, one of the tight ends went down. My time to shine! Where do I stand? Who do I have? I look up and meet the same eyes I met on my first play in college football.
    Matt Shaughnessy! ...

    Aion is a child at play, playing draughts; the kingship is a child's.

    Heraclitus

  • Play Quote #15

    Aleksar Greene was a boy I used to play with, he was my imaginary friend.

  • Play Quote #17

    All creative work begins as play. The more one plays, the better one works.

    Marty Rubin

  • Play Quote #18

    All drama is about lies. All drama is about something that’s hidden. A drama starts because a situation becomes imbalanced by a lie. The lie may be something we tell each other or something we think about ourselves, but the lie imbalances a situation. If you’re cheating on your wife the repression of that puts things out of balance; or if you’re someone you think you’re not, and you think you should be further ahead in your job, that neurotic vision takes over your life and you’re plagued by it until you’re cleansed. At the end of a play the lie is revealed. The better the play the more surprising and inevitable the lie is. Aristotle told us this

    David Mamet

  • Play Quote #19

    All of us lived life when sex was the farthest thing from our minds. Try to remember the careless freedom of play, basking in the beingness of others. As adults, responsibilities and obligations can often bind us to a daily grind. For some adults, then, sex might be one of the few interactions that restores their openness and sensory exploration of play. It’s not hard to see why sexual preoccupation might take over when people become locked out from experiencing fulfilling lives.

    Alexandra Katehakis

    All work and no play will make you sad and grey!

    Habeeb Akande

  • Play Quote #21

    An ad for cigars appears in 100,000 newspapers; sales of that brand increase by 3% for a short time thereafter. A new play receives a viciously negative review in a theatrical journal that prints 500 copies; the playwright shoots himself. Who’s the better writer?

  • Play Quote #22

    And I was a Child again, watching the bright World. But the Spell broke when at this Juncture some Gallants jumped from the Pitt onto the Stage and behaved as so many Merry-Andrews among the Actors, which reduced all to Confusion. I laugh'd with them also, for I like to make Merry among the Fallen and there is pleasure to be had in the Observation of the Deformity of Things. Thus when the Play resumed after the Disturbance, it was only to excite my Ridicule with its painted Fictions, wicked Hypocrisies and villainous Customs, all depicted with a little pert Jingle of Words and a rambling kind of Mirth to make the Insipidnesse and Sterility pass. There was no pleasure in seeing it, and nothing to burden the Memory after: like a voluntarie before a Lesson it was absolutely forgotten, nothing to be remembered or repeated.

    Peter Ackroyd

  • Play Quote #23

    And I wasn’t playing a role – I was trying to be myself.
    But the harder I was striving, the more I was realizing that I had probably lost that ‘myself’ somewhere between two perfectly performed roles...

    Simona Panova

  • Play Quote #24

    And what if you try to kill me? Or worse: to kiss me?

    Simona Panova

  • Play Quote #25

    And you don't have to pinch me to see if I'm real, either. How about you just place your hand in mine while we walk to the store, then you can see just how real I am, firsthand.

    Steven L. Sheppard

  • Play Quote #26

    As a child I would play with such imagination that the ‘real’ world was never real at all. It was full of mystery, adventure and possibility.

    Fennel Hudson

  • Play Quote #27

    As children get older, this incidental outdoor activity--say, while waiting to be called to eat--becomes less bumptious, physically and entails more loitering with others, sizing people up, flirting, talking, pushing, shoving and horseplay. Adolescents are always being criticized for this kind of loitering, but they can hardly grow up without it. The trouble comes when it is done not within society, but as a form of outlaw life.

    The requisite for any of these varieties of incidental play is not pretentious equipment of any sort, but rather space at an immediately convenient and interesting place. The play gets crowded out if sidewalks are too narrow relative to the total demands put on them. It is especially crowded out if the sidewalks also lack minor irregularities in building line. An immense amount of both loitering and play goes on in shallow sidewalk niches out of the line of moving pedestrian feet.

    Jane Jacobs

  • Play Quote #28

    As long as music survives, poetry will never die.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Play Quote #29

    Be again, be again. (Pause.) All that old misery. (Pause.) Once wasn't enough for you.

    Samuel Beckett

  • Play Quote #30

    Be as thou wast wont to be.
    See as thou wast wont to see.

    William Shakespeare
