Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or problems:
“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 dont mean everything they do and say. They are just testing. . . . Take a good deal of your daughters 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)
“I respect guilt. It is a dangerous but sometimes useful beast. The guilt that made me want to solve all my childrens problems meant trouble. The guilt that made me question my role in our mother-daughter squabbles proved helpful. Yes, I care about my kids problems, and I long to make suggestions. But these days I wait for children to ask for help, and I give it sparingly. Some things cant be fixed, and I tell them so.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
