Famous quotes containing the words block and/or set:
“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)
“1st Witch. When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
2nd Witch. When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.
3rd Witch. That will be ere set of sun.
1st Witch. Where the place?
2nd Witch. Upon the heath.
3rd Witch. There to meet with Macbeth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
