Famous quotes containing the words world and/or chess:
“... this world gives no room
to be what we dreamt of being”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
