I love these quotations from the National Institute for Play home page.
“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato
“The truly great advances of this generation will be made by those who can make outrageous connections, and only a mind which knows how to play can do that.” Nagle Jackson
“The opposite of play is not work, it is depression.” Brian Sutton-Smith
I also like these:
“Time is a game played beautifully by children.” – Heraclitus
”Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.” – Kay Redfield Jamison (Clinical Psychologist)
