Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or openings:
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with childrens play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in playing chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (19121991)
“There are a thousand unnoticed openings ... which let a penetrating eye at once into a mans soul; and I maintain ... that a man of sense does not lay down his hat in coming into a room,or take it up in going out of it, but something escapes, which discovers him.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
