Zitate Johan Huizinga

„If a serious statement is defined as one that may be made in terms of waking life, poetry will never rise to the level of seriousness. It lies beyond seriousness, on that more primitive and original level where the child, the animal, the savage, and the seer belong, in the region of dream, enchantment, ecstasy, laughter. To understand poetry we must be capable of donning the child's soul like a magic cloak and of forsaking man's wisdom for the child's.“

Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

„For us the chief point of interest is the place where the game is played. Generatly it is a simple circle, dyutamandalam, drawn on the ground. The circle as such, however, has a magic significance. It is drawn with great care, all sorts of precautions being taken against cheating. The players are not allowed to leave the ring until they have discharged their obligations. But, sometimes a special hall is provisionally erected for the game, and this hall is holy ground. The Mahabharata devotes a whole chapter to the erection of the dicing hall - sabha - where the Pandavas are to meet their prtners. Games, of chance, therefore, have their serious side. They are included in ritual.“

Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

„In play there is something “at play” which transcends the immediate needs of life and imparts meaning to the action. All play means something. If we call the active principle that makes up the essence of play, “instinct”, we explain nothing; if we call it “mind” or “will” we say too much. However we may regard it, the very fact that play has a meaning implies a non-materialistic quality in the nature of the thing itself.“

Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

„The whole functioning of the mediaeval University was profoundly agonistic and ludic. The everlasting disputations which took the place of our learned discussions in periodicals, etc., the solemn ceremonial which is still such a marked feature of University life, the grouping of scholars into nationes, the divisions and subdivisions, the schisms, the unbridgeable gulfs—all these are phenomena belonging to the sphere of competition and play-rules. Erasmus“

Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

„Nélkülem – mondja Balgaság – a világ egy pillanatig sem lehet meg. „Mert van-e emberi tett, ami ne lenne tele balgasággal? Hiszen balgák »teszik« balga környezetben.” " Az életben semmi közösségi kötelék nem lenne kellemes vagy maradandó nélkülem. Nem tűrné el hosszabb ideig nép a fejedelmét, úr szolgáját, szolgáló az úrnőjét, tanító a tanítványát, barát a barátját, asszony a férjét, ha kölcsönösen nem ámítanák magukat, nem hízelegnének egymásnak, szemet nem hunynának bölcsen, és a Balgaság mézével nem csillapítanák magukat.“

— Johan Huizinga
Erasmus and the Age of Reformation

„A reneszánsz szellemének egyik legfőbb jellegzetessége a valóság figyelemre méltó tényei utáni határtalan tudásvágy s e tények befogadásának korlátlan mértéke. Az emberek nem tudtak betelni a tanulságos történetekkel, a különlegességekkel, ritkaságokkal, anomáliákkal. Egyenlőre nyoma sem volt a későbbi korok szellemi émelygésének, amikor már nem tudtak megbirkózni a valósággal, mely semmiképp sem volt többé a szájuk ízének való; most még bőségesen áradt az élvezet.“
