Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.

Aion is a child at play, playing draughts; the kingship is a child's.

A person's maturity consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child, at play

The Aeon is a child at play with colored balls.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
