God will not speak to me and tell me to mow my lawn today.

A fun movie is something that is pleasurable without being demanding, you don't have to think too hard.

When we think about play and games and the situations in which having fun is seen as an outcome, they often have to do with repetition. You're returning to something again, and even despite that similarity, you squeeze something new out of it.

When we use this word fun, it sort of bangs up the ordinary and the extraordinary altogether.

If you think of play as being in things, there are things that are playable, then it becomes the work of figuring out what a thing can do.

Any phrase that suggests play is this domain that's the opposite of work, or the thing that you do when you're done working, should trouble us. Because it means that play is always relegated to the exhaust of life. It's the thing that you do after you do the important stuff, it's what you do on your own time.

I think the most important thing to realize about play is that it's this thing that's in stuff, it's not in you.
