American Chess

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or chess:

    The American spring is by no means so agreeable as the American autumn; both move with faltering step, and slow; but this lingering pace, which is delicious in autumn, is most tormenting in the spring.
    Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    Remember...that each child is a separate person, yours forever, but never fully yours. She can never be all you wished or wanted, or all you know she could be. But she will be a better human being if you can let her be herself.
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
