Chess Move

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or move:

    There is a parallel between the twos and the tens. Tens are trying to test their abilities again, sizing up and experimenting to discover how to fit in. They don’t mean everything they do and say. They are just testing. . . . Take a good deal of your daughter’s behavior with a grain of salt. Try to handle the really outrageous as matter-of-factly as you would a mistake in grammar or spelling.
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    And knew that nature could not more refine
    What it had given in a looking-glass
    And held there, after the living body’s line
    Has moved wherever it must move ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
