Famous quotes containing the words open and/or chess:

“I am Black because I come from the earth’s inside
now take my word for jewel in the open light.”

“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)
