"To play is to be in the world. Playing is a form of understanding what surrounds and who we are."

Miguel Sicart, "Play Matters"

"The pleasure of play is understandable. The productivity of play is harder to explain."

Steven Johnson, "Wonderland. How Play Made the Modern World"

"We want our modern world to be [...] full of the expressive capacities of play. But we also want them to be effective [...] We want playfulness - the capacity to use play outside the context of play."

Miguel Sicart, "Play Matters"

"Without play, there is no experimentation [...] without experimentation, there is no 'quest for answers' "

Paul Rand, quoted by Steven Heller in "Paul Rand: The Play Principle"
