The sound a box of Lego makes is the noise of a child's mind working, looking for the right piece. Shake it, and it's almost creativity in aural form.

About This Quote

When you open a box of Lego, the first thing you do is look for the right pieces. With a box of Legos, there is a sort of creative energy that is released when you shake it. If you shake a box of Legos just right, it will sound almost like creativity in aural form. When you open a box of Legos and find the piece that isn’t just the right piece but the perfect piece, you get a rush of excitement. This excitement is what makes playing with Legos so much fun.
