Chess Miner

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or miner:

    The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem.... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
    Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

    Many a miner has gone
    into the deep pit
    to receive the dust of a kiss,
    an ore-cell.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
