Chess Move

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or move:

    The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Rocks crumble, make new forms,
    oceans move the continents,
    mountains rise up and down like ghosts
    yet all is natural, all is change.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
