We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!

We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.

We do not stop working and playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop working and playing.

People do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. ~

Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.

You don't stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.

اننا لا نكف عن العمل و اللعب لاننا نكبر في السن , اننا نكبر بالسن عندما نكف عن العمل و اللعب.

People don't stop things they enjoy doing just because they reach a certain age. They don't stop playing tennis just because they turn 40, they don't stop with sex just because they turn 40; they keep it up as long as they can if they enjoy it, and learning will be the same thing.

You don't grow up, you grow old.

Games have this eternal, immortal attraction. Of course I do go back to old games if I need a refresher, but I think it is important to intentionally play and observe new games, to know what’s out there. Games that are coming out now are just incredible; they’re amazing. Even for people who say that they grow out of games, once they have kids and there’s a game they can play together, they return. It’s not about quitting or graduating from playing games; it’s about finding what’s enjoyable for you at that time in your life, and playing that.
