“What strikes me is the fact that in our society art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something specialized or done by experts who are artists. But couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not the life?”
- Michel Foucault

It is remarkable that ludus, as the general term for play, has not only not passed into the Romance languages but has left hardly any traces there, so far as I can see… We must leave to one side the question whether the disappearance of ludus and ludere is due to phonetic or to semantic causes.
- Johan Huizinga
