“I like to play chess. I moved to a small town, and nobody played chess there, but one guy challenged me to checkers. I always thought it was kind of a simple game, but I accepted. And he beat me nine or ten games in a row. That’s sort of like living in a small town. It’s a simpler game, but it’s played to a higher level.”
“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”
“I don't know how to play chess, but to me, life is like a game of chess.”
“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”
“thanks to mommy and match-box cars, thanks for dad and to the stars.”
