...Play... is itself its own purpose... A bird sings, and an ornithologist says it is for the sake of courtship and species propagation. For the bird, however, to sing is to sing, for the bird is born to sing. Come spring it sings, and the rest takes care of itself.
-- Kuang-ming Wu, The Butterfly as Companion
