Famous quotes containing the words player and/or draws:
“The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“O Time the fatal wrack of mortal things,
That draws oblivion’s curtains over kings;”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
