"In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
About this Quote
Friedrich Nietzsche is stating that all people, no matter how mature or severe, have a vibrant and lively side to them that is often suppressed by societal pressures or personal responsibilities. He recommends that even as grownups, we need to not totally forget our inner kid and must enable ourselves the liberty to play and check out the world with a childlike wonder. This belief motivates individuals to welcome their playful nature and not hesitate to seek delight and fun in their daily lives.
"It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them"
