«I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance. Play isn't passive.»
«The reinvention of daily life means marching off the edge of our maps.»
«Play is always voluntary. What might otherwise be play is work if it's forced.»
«It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities. To abolish work requires going at it from two directions, quantitative and qualitative. On the one hand, on the quantitative side, we have to cut down massively on the amount of work being done. At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand -- and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure -- we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end-products.»
«Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you'd care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working.»
«We might get there at 9:30 in the morning for a 1 o'clock game and then leave somewhere between 7 and 8 that night. We like to be right in front of Farley Hall, if we get there early enough.»
