“There is only one reason why all grown-up people do not play with toys; and it is a fair reason. The reason is that playing with toys is so very much more time and trouble than anything else. Playing as children means playing is the most serious thing in the world; and as soon as we have small duties or small sorrows we have to abandon to some extent so enormous and ambitiuous a plan of life. We have enough strength for politics and commerce and art and philosophy; we have not enough strength for play.”
GK Chesterton, On Tremendous Trifles, “The Toy Theater” (via constarrynight)-
