"Every chess player should have a hobby." ---Anonymous

"When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play chess.  This will raise your spirits...." ---Aristotle

"Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe." --- Russian proverb.

"Chess, like love, is infectious at any age." ---Flohr

"Although chess is classed as a game, it is such only when it is played with little understanding of its nature.; there are those who see in chess nothing more than a pleasant way of passing the time, but with others it is a poem, a symphony.  The poor man can have as splendid a collection of chess games or problems as the poor man's patron.  To say that chess is an art, and the chess player an artist seems to me approximate to the true nature of the thing." ---Napier
