Block Set

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)

    They roused him with muffins—they roused him with ice—
    They roused him with mustard and cress—
    They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
    They set him conundrums to guess.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
