After that, Kasparov stepped back from chess which is, and I want this to be clear, not good for chess in general at all. As a whole, the current situation in the chess world leaves a lot to be desired.

Anatoly Karpov

Who is wiser: the man who plants flowers along life's way or the man who makes it bristle with thorns?

Charles Fourier

I ... have two vocations: chess and engineering. If I played chess only, I believe that my success would not have been significantly greater. I can play chess well only when I have fully convalesced from chess and when the 'hunger for chess' once more awakens within me.

Mikhail Botvinnik

The clear-sighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.

Agnes Repplier

Hatred is the most clear- sighted, next to genius.

Claude Bernard

I love chess, and I didn't invent Fischerandom chess to destroy chess. I invented Fischerandom chess to keep chess going. Because I consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. A lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. I'm really not interested in that. I want to keep the old chess flavor. I want to keep the old chess game. But just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it's not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

Bobby Fischer

There is nothing so clear-sighted and sensible as a noble mind in a low estate.

Jane Porter

A sadder but wiser man is a thousand times more agreeable to meet than the feller that never makes a mistake.

Kin Hubbard

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.

Benjamin Franklin

Pain makes you stronger. Fear makes you braver. Heartbreak makes you wiser.

Drake

Chess programs don't play chess the way humans play chess. We don't really know how humans play chess, but one of the things we do is spot some opportunity on the chess board toward a move to capture the opponent's queen.

Stuart J. Russell

It's the horsey-shape piece that moves in an L shape. It's what makes chess complicated, and why stupid people can't play chess. Go play checkers! Knights are the first piece you look at. They elevate the game. No chess master wants to lose her knights.

Courtney Love

They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.

Moliere

I don't know whether computers are improving the style of play, I know they are changing it. Chess has become a different game, one could say that computers have changed the world of chess. That is pretty clear.

Vladimir Kramnik

I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make man happy.

Siegbert Tarrasch

Power is what they want, not candy-power to execute their design, power to give legs and feet, form and actuality to their thought; which, to a clear-sighted man, appears the end for which the universe exists, and all its resources might be well applied.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
