Ghost Chess

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or chess:

    A fig for
    The seal of fire,
    Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
    We make me mystic as the arm of air,
    The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Today’s fathers and mothers—with only the American dream for guidance—extend and overextend themselves, physically, emotionally, and financially, during the best years of their lives to ensure that their children will grow up prepared to do better and go further than they did.
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
