Play is the exultation of the possible.

True play is creativity.

When you're doing a play, you don't always have a practical world that you're working off of. You have to create it for yourself.

Improvisation, if you play it at the top of your intelligence, leads to a kind of truth that people find really accessible.

Play is a uniquely adaptive act, not subordinate to some other adaptive act, but with a special function of its own in human experience.

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.

A play is not a play until it's performed, and unless it's a one-person play that is acted, directed and designed by the author, many other people will be deeply involved in the complicated process that leads to its performance.

It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.

So we do have our exits and our entrances and we are perhaps mere, but I think if one keep a certain joyousness in life which should be in playing, then good for one, but it's slightly more serious than that.
