World Chess

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or chess:

    Where the world ends
    The mind is made unchanging, for it finds
    Miracle, ecstasy, the impossible hope,
    The flagstone under all, the fire of fires,
    The roots of the world.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
