quotes for today
I think I'll sit down with a drink and watch the Preakness this afternoon. In the meantime, here are some quotes I meant to record.
"The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts... express their beauty abstractly... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists."
- Marcel Duchamp
"Optimism: The doctrine that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong... It is hereditary, but fortunately not
contagious."
- Ambrose Bierce
