Quotes I find applicable to my chess:

“A book cannot by itself teach how to play. It can only serve as a guide, and the rest must be learned by experience.” - Jose Raul Capablanca
“It doesn’t matter how strong a player you are, if you fail to register some development in the opening, then you are asking for trouble.” — John Emms
“For inspiration, I look to those great players who consistently found original ways to shock their opponents. None did this better than the eighth world champion, Mikhail Tal.” — Garry Kasparov
“Fischer...is abnormally sensitive to the slightest noise in the hall...Then there are other players, among them Spassky, [Viktor] Korchnoi, and myself. For us, it is simply boring to play in an empty hall. When we appear on the stage, we are artistes.” — Mikhail Tal
“Towering genius, riches, international fame and a far from normal childhood might be too heady a mix for anyone to handle. For him they proved fatal.” — Dick Cavett
"I always loved complexity. With chess, one creates beautiful problems." — Marcel Duchamp
“Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it.” — Tigran Petrosian
"I like the moment I crush a man’s ego” — Bobby Fischer
