I just read Journey to the East last week and quoted it to the softball team that I help coach in thanking them for playing:

Hermann Hesse, The Journey to the East; "But no account of David can prove to me that life is not just a game. That is just what life is when it is beautiful and happy- a game! Naturally, one can also do all kinds of other things with it, make a duty of it, or a battleground, or a prison, but that does not make it prettier." P 72
