Quotes about communities

A play-community generally tends to become permanent even after the game is over. […] The feeling of being “apart together” in an exceptional situation, of sharing something important, of mutually withdrawing from the rest of the world and rejecting the usual norms, retains its magic beyond the duration of the individual game.

– Johan Huizinga
