Quote by W. H. Auden
No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games.
Summary
This quote suggests that while no human being can be completely innocent, there are certain actions known as "Games" that can be considered innocent. Games here refer to activities that are purely recreational, done without any ill intentions or harm to others. Unlike most human actions influenced by personal motives or external factors, games allow individuals to engage in playful and harmless experiences. By referring to this specific class of actions as innocent, the quote implies that games provide a respite from the complexity and moral ambiguity of our everyday lives.
