Fun doesn't have anything to do with pleasure, necessarily. I think this will be terrifically unintuitive for people.

We don't like to think of ourselves as subject to the forces of the world, we like to think of ourselves as exerting that force.

There are also many things my wife can't stand about me, and there are certain capacities that she has that are different than mine. The trick is to find compatibilities.

If you stop someone who's talking about something being fun, and say "Well what do you mean?" it's almost impossible to answer.

The universe is not particularly concerned with you.

Once you get yourself on that path where you're willing to find something delightful in laundry and in dishwashers, it means that you train yourself to be able to find it almost anywhere in almost anything.

Play is this process of operating the world, of manipulating things. It's related to experimentation, and it's related to pleasure, but not defined by it.
