“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”

~L.P. Jacks

“Go and play. 

Run around. 

Build something. 

Break something. 

Climb a tree. 

Get dirty. 

Get in some trouble. 

Have some fun.”

~Brom

(The Child Thief)

"You can’t be always deep. 

I mean… 

Sometimes you just want 

and need to be childish and funny, 

do stupid things. It’s natural. 

Being a deep adult all the time 

is boring and exhausting, 

let yourself be a child sometimes. 

Let your soul speak."

~Kate Whiteman

"We don't stop playing because we grow old; 

we grow old because we stop playing."

~George Bernard Shaw

“This is the real secret of life -- 

to be completely engaged 

with what you are doing 

in the here and now. 

And instead of calling it work, 

realize it is play.”

~Alan Watts
