Play again

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

And don’t miss Dr. Stuart Brown’s video about the correlation between intelligence and play. The smarter the animal – the more they play.
