When I was preparing for one term's work in the Botvinnik school I had to spend a lot of time on king and pawn endings. So when I came to a tricky position in my own games I knew the winning method. ~ Garry Kasparov
Pawns quotes by Garry Kasparov
Those bound by superficial rules who do not use their pawns to the utmost are fools. ~ Ciel Phantomhive
Pawns quotes by Ciel Phantomhive
Aren't we all pawns in the hands of time, the greatest player of them all? ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Pawns quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Were born to be players, not pawns. ~ Daniel H. Pink
Pawns quotes by Daniel H. Pink
Pawn endings are to Chess what putting is to golf ~ Cecil Purdy
Pawns quotes by Cecil Purdy
I'm a real pawn-shopper. ~ Jemaine Clement
Pawns quotes by Jemaine Clement
Always put the rook behind the pawn ... Except when it is incorrect to do so. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Pawns quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
Some guys live in worlds where pawns stay pawns. I'm one move from king. ~ Darnell Lamont Walker
Pawns quotes by Darnell Lamont Walker
Pawns are such fascinating pieces, too ... So small, almost insignificant, and yet
they can depose kings. Don't you find that interesting? ~ Lavie Tidhar
Pawns quotes by Lavie Tidhar
War is like a game of chess ... but with this little difference, that in chess you may think over each move as long as you please and are not limited for time, and with this difference too, that a knight is always stronger than a pawn, and two pawns are always stronger than one, while in war a battalion is sometimes stronger than a division and sometimes weaker than a company. The relative strength of bodies of troops can never be known to anyone ... Success never depends, and never will depend, on position, or equipment, or even on numbers, and least of all on position. ~ Leo Tolstoy

Many rabble-rousers for libertarianism, liberty and freedom are unwitting pawns of controllers they have never even considered. ~ Bryant McGill
Pawns quotes by Bryant McGill
Be warned! From Satan's viewpoint you are a pawn in his game of cosmic chess. ~ Adrian Rogers
Pawns quotes by Adrian Rogers
A lot of bands have intense names, like "Rigor Mortis" or "Mortuary". We weren't that intense, we called ourselves "Injured". Later on we changed it to "Acapella" when we were walking out of the pawn shop. ~ Mitch Hedberg
Pawns quotes by Mitch Hedberg
Generals were early to bed, early to rise, always brushing their teeth after every meal, never skipping a morning shave. All they had to do was sit back in Nagano drawing up their battle plans. One order from them and us mortals on the front lines would move like pawns across a chessboard to our grisly fates. I'd like to see just one of them here with us in the mud. We had our own rules down here. Which is probably why they stayed away. If one of them showed, I'd see to it a stray bullet put them on the Killed In Action list. ~ Hiroshi Sakurazaka
Pawns quotes by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
In the bigger scheme of things, we are two pawns... waiting for life to make its move.
#Fatalist ~ Saru Singhal
Pawns quotes by Saru Singhal
For most of their history in China, Pugs were treasured dogs. By law, they could only be owned by nobility or by Buddhist monks. However, because they were held in such high regard, they were also used as pawns in international relations. In 732 C.E., China gave a Pug to Japan as a gift to cement diplomatic relations. The Japanese became infatuated with this dog, and it became the first of many given to Japanese diplomats. ~ Liz Palika
Pawns quotes by Liz Palika
Pawns are born free, yet they are everywhere in chains ~ Rick Kennedy
Pawns quotes by Rick Kennedy
American democracy is a chess-game in which pawns imagine themselves to be free individuals with wills of their own: that delusion is one of the rules of the game, without which the game could not continue. I doubt anyone, no matter how sharp and sharp-tongued, could succeed in getting across to high school students how vital an acute mind is for just keeping a grip on one's life and earnings in our mendacious politics and economics. No wonder our school system is devoutly dedicated to demoralizing and blunting such minds. ~ Kenny Smith
Pawns quotes by Kenny Smith
Chess first of all teaches you to be objective. ~ Alexander Alekhine
Pawns quotes by Alexander Alekhine
Chess players do not care about the pawns. They sacrifice the least powerful so they can hold on to their power.Your leaders play chess with your lives,but what the world does not yet know is that someone else whispers the moves as they play... ~ Catherine Linka
Pawns quotes by Catherine Linka
I'm a chess piece. A pawn,' she said. 'I can be sacrificed, but I cannot be captured. To be captured would be the end of the game. ~ Paolo Bacigalupi
Pawns quotes by Paolo Bacigalupi
It cannot be too greatly emphasized that the most important role in pawn endings is played by the king. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Pawns quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
Incredibly, while these 18 to 20 year-olds cannot legally buy a beer, cannot purchase a bottle of wine and cannot order a drink in a bar, right now they can walk into any gun shop, any pawn shop, any gun show, anywhere in America and buy a handgun. ~ Al Gore
Pawns quotes by Al Gore
I don't want to involve myself in the various arguments about why Israel was created ... I want to deal with the situation at hand which is the ongoing killing on both sides ... It's true that there's also much oppression of Palestinians in Arab countries, where Palestinians aren't allowed to vote or own property and are treated as second class citizens and pawns in the fight against Israel. But I'm not going to spend my time on this since there is isn't a whole lot I can do about it. ~ Michael Moore
Pawns quotes by Michael Moore
What he realised, and more clearly as time went on, was that money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion-the only felt religion-that is left to us. Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to make good. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers-the elect, the money priesthood as it were- 'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed- the slaves and underlings'- 'Thou shalt not lose thy job.' It was about this time that he came across The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and read about the starving carpenter who pawns everything but sticks to his aspidistra. The aspidistra became a sort of symbol for Gordon after that. The aspidistra, the flower of England! It ought to be on our coat of arms instead of the lion and the unicorn. There will be no revolution in England while there are aspidistras in the windows. ~ George Orwell
Pawns quotes by George Orwell
For this equality belongs to the post-Renaissance world of ideology-of political magic and the alchemical science" of politics. Envy is the basis of its broad appeal. And rampant envy, the besetting virus of modern society, is the most predictable result of insistence upon its realization. Furthermore, hue and cry over equality of opportunity and equal rights leads, a fortiori, to a final demand for equality of condition. Under its pressure self respect gives way in the large majority of men who have not reached the level of their expectation, who have no support from an inclusive identity, and who hunger for "revenge" on those who occupy a higher station and will (they expect) continue to enjoy that advantage. The end result is visible in the spiritual proletarians of the "lonely crowd." Bertrand de Jouvenel has described the process which produces such non-persons in his memorable study, On Power. They are the natural pawns of an impersonal and omnicompetent Leviathan. And to insure their docility such a state is certain to recruit a large "new class" of men, persons superior in "ability" and authority, both to their ostensible "masters" among the people and to such anachronisms as stand in their progressive way. Such is the evidence of the recent past and particularly of American history. Arrant individualism, fracturing and then destroying the hope of amity and confederation, the communal bond and the ancient vision of the good society as an extrapolation from family, is ~ M.E. Bradford
Pawns quotes by M.E. Bradford
The majority of people are carried along like the falling stone, obedient to environment, outside influences and internal moods, desires etc., not to speak of the desires and wills of others stronger than themselves, heredity, environment, and suggestion, carrying them along without resistance on their part, or the exercise of the Will. Moved like the pawns on the checkerboard of life, they play their parts and are laid aside after the game is over. But the Masters, knowing the rules of the game, rise above the plane of material life, and placing themselves in touch with the higher powers of their nature, dominate their own moods, characters, qualities, and polarity, as well as the environment surrounding them and thus become Movers in the game, instead of Pawns - Causes instead of Effects. The Masters do not escape the Causation of the higher planes, but fall in with the higher laws, and thus master circumstances on the lower plane. They thus form a conscious part of the Law, instead of being mere blind instruments. While they Serve on the Higher Planes, they Rule on the Material Plane. ~ Three Initiates
Pawns quotes by Three Initiates
If we focus on the meat, this contrast is, financial death and warrior death, a split which Oswald Spengler calls 'hunger death' and 'hero death'.

The hungry human, in a 9 to 5 existence is threatened, dishonored, and debased by financial worry and the fear of mental starving, which stunts possibilities, chokes consciousness, produces darkness and pressure not less than starvation in the literal sense. You can lose your whole life-will through the gaping wretchedness of living in the modern world of debt and work. The tragedy is that in the modern world, you die of something (starvation, disease, boredom) and not for something (death by action).

In waring and fighting, you sacrifice for higher policies, you can die for something higher, you full for a metaphysics, a mode of consciousness higher than your meat body. On the other hand, economic life merely waste you away. Spengler writes, 'War is the creature, hunger the destroyer, of all things'.

In war life is elevated by death, often to the point of irresistible force whose mere existence guarantees victory. But in the economic life hunger awakens the ugly, the vulgar, and wholly un-metaphysical form of fearfulness for one's life under which the higher form of being a human miserably collapses and the naked struggle for survival of the human beast begins.

By the warrior, Evola isn't writing about what Henry Kissinger called 'dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign polic ~ Moesy Pittounikos
Pawns quotes by Moesy Pittounikos
The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling. ~ Amber Benson
Pawns quotes by Amber Benson
The placing of the center pawns determines the 'topography' of a game of chess. ~ Alexander Kotov
Pawns quotes by Alexander Kotov
There is no disputing that in the eyes of Schlechter, Teichmann or even Rubinstein, the backward pawn was something more substantial than lively piece play, but in our day the latter is more often preferred. ~ David Bronstein
Pawns quotes by David Bronstein
A gambit never becomes sheer routine as long as you fear you may lose the king and pawn ending! ~ Bent Larsen
Pawns quotes by Bent Larsen
If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me. ~ Megan Whalen Turner
Pawns quotes by Megan Whalen Turner
Not all black women have silently acquiesced in sexism and misogyny within the African-American community. Indeed, many writers, activists, and other women have voiced their opposition and paid the price: they have been ostracized and branded as either man- haters or pawns of white feminists, two of the more predictable modes of disciplining and discrediting black feminists. ~ Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
Pawns quotes by Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
Throughout chess history, great debates have raged about the pros and cons of hanging pawns. The debates are nonsense; the answer is cut and dried. If the pawns can be attacked and forced to move forward, they are weak. If they can be defended and remain where they are, they are strong. ~ Yasser Seirawan
Pawns quotes by Yasser Seirawan
Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity. They are children, women and men who leave or who are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and having, but above all for being more ~ Pope Francis
Pawns quotes by Pope Francis
Letters to the Dead"

We read the letters of the dead like puzzled gods --
gods nevertheless, because we know what happened later.
We know what money wasn't repaid,
the widows who rushed to remarry.
Poor, unseeing dead,
deceived, fallible, toiling in solemn foolery.
We see the signs made behind their backs,
catch the rustle of ripped-up wills.
They sit there before us, ridiculous
as things perched on buttered bread,
or fling themselves after whisked-away hats.
Their bad taste -- Napoleon, steam and electricity,
deadly remedies for curable diseases,
the foolish apocalypse of St. John,
the false paradise on earth of Jean-Jacques . . .
Silently, we observe their pawns on the board
-- but shifted three squares on.
Everything they foresaw has happened quite differently,
or a little differently -- which is the same thing.
The most fervent stare trustingly into our eyes;
by their reckoning, they'll see perfection there. ~ Wisława Szymborska
Pawns quotes by Wisława Szymborska
In life, as in Chess, ones own Pawns block ones way. A mans very wealth, ease, leisure, children, books, which should help him to win, more often checkmate him ~ Charles Buxton
Pawns quotes by Charles Buxton
We can choose to function at a lower level of awareness and simply exist, caring for our possessions, eating, drinking, sleeping and managing in the world as pawns of the elements, or we can soar to new and higher levels of awareness allowing ourselves to transcend our environment and literally create a world of our own - a world of real magic. ~ Wayne Dyer
Pawns quotes by Wayne Dyer
I grant you that, if you'll admit, as I do, that we are pawns of an unknown force that lives within us that dictates our actions and compels us to speak this language. ~ Jean Cocteau
Pawns quotes by Jean Cocteau
White has no positional equivalent for the centralized pawn. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Pawns quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
We are more than pawns, Kate. We are free to make our own choices. Kings and bishops shall not forever determine the fate of free men." (Frith) "You're fleeing the wrath of a bishop, aren't you, and the king's soldiers? How can you be anything but a pawn in a dangerous game?" (Kate) "My choice, Kate. My choice not to play by the bishop's rules. A man whose spirit is free will never be a pawn in somebody else's game no matter what the consequences of his choice." (John) (p. 121) ~ Brenda Rickman Vantrease
Pawns quotes by Brenda Rickman Vantrease
Look, it also attempts to poison our children, divide them from their parents and the teaching of the church and basically turn them into pawns for that movement so that they can sexualize them at the earliest possible age. It really is insidious and I agree with you, it is a super sin. ~ E.W. Jackson
Pawns quotes by E.W. Jackson
This sacrifice of a pawn nowadays is only played for drawing purposes. Especially against the very strongest masters it has proved to be quite useful to this end. ~ Jan Hein Donner
Pawns quotes by Jan Hein Donner
Emmy, if there's one thing you need to know about life, it's never to trust anyone or anything. Life is a fucking mind game and you and I are the pawns. ~ Jessica Sorensen
Pawns quotes by Jessica Sorensen
It was fun, although we felt like pawns, or prawns, in the maelstrom. ~ Julia Child
Pawns quotes by Julia Child
And so without our primordial attachments to others, what would we be?
Evidently, we would be the players of a game, one that resembled a giant chess match, with our fellow human beings as the rooks, the knights, and the pawns. For this is the essence of sociopathic behavior, and desire. ~ Martha Stout
Pawns quotes by Martha Stout
To capture the pawn, threaten the queen. ~ Robert Charles Wilson
Pawns quotes by Robert Charles Wilson
It so often happens that, after sacrificing a pawn, a player aims not to obtain the initiative for it, but to regain sacrificed material. ~ Efim Geller
Pawns quotes by Efim Geller
My biggest grouse since the time I filed for divorce has been that when all the drama unfolded, the children were made pawns. That should never be the case. You never know how it affects them. ~ Duniya Vijay
Pawns quotes by Duniya Vijay
When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him. ~ George R R Martin
Pawns quotes by George R R Martin
Imagine God and Man set down together to play that game of chess that we call life. The one player is a master, the other a bungling amateur, so the outcome of the game cannot be in question. The amateur has free will, he does what he pleases, for it was he who chose to set up his will against that of the master in the first place; he throws the whole board into confusion time and again and by his foolishness delays the orderly ending of it all for countless generations, but every stupid move of his is dealt with by a masterly counterstroke, and slowly but inexorably the game sweeps on to the master's victory. But, mind you, the game could not move on at all without the full complement of pieces; Kings, Queens, Bishops, Knights, Pawns; the master does not lose sight of a single one of them. ~ Elizabeth Goudge
Pawns quotes by Elizabeth Goudge
The shortcoming of hanging pawns is that they present a convenient target for attack. As the exchange of men proceeds, their potential strength lessens and during the endgame they turn out, as a rule, to be weak. ~ Boris Spassky
Pawns quotes by Boris Spassky
Pawns were always underestimated - until they marched across the board and changed into queens. ~ Natalie Herzer
Pawns quotes by Natalie Herzer
You of all beings know how fate works. What happened to you as a human happened because everyone from your parents on down tried to circumvent what was supposed to be – which ultimately was the destruction of the Atlantean pantheon. There was no changing that prophecy. But the way you suffered was completely unnecessary. Had your parents embraced their true destiny, you would have been saved years of torment. Fate will not be denied. We can sculpt it, but in the end we're all pawns to our final destinies. Good, bad, or indifferent. (Savitar) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Pawns quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Pawns: they are the soul of this game, they alone form the attack and defense ~ Francois-Andre Danican Philidor
Pawns quotes by Francois-Andre Danican Philidor
I had to wonder what sadistic pleasure and entertainment human suffering must provide to the divine game players who decided the fate of their pawns in a board game they made of life. ~ Clyde DeSouza
Pawns quotes by Clyde DeSouza
On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game. ~ Bob Dylan
Pawns quotes by Bob Dylan
There is a family of us who have this yearning for a kind of excellence that we can manifest every day of our lives, a family who wants to believe we're not pawns, we're not victims on this planet, that knows we have the power within us here and now to change the world we see around us! ~ Richard Bach
Pawns quotes by Richard Bach
This is our world now, whether you accept it or not. In some ways, we are pawns to greater powers. Expendable to a greater game."
"I'm not a pawn."
"You are if you don't wake up and do something. ~ Paul McCusker
Pawns quotes by Paul McCusker
Once upon a time supporters of the Steinitz-Tarrasch school had a very high opinion of a queen-side pawn majority. Modern strategy on the other hand categorically denies that such a majority is an independent factor of any importance. ~ Alexander Kotov
Pawns quotes by Alexander Kotov
Chess is not Mathematics, where ten is always more than one; in chess the King with a pawn can beat opponent's King with all pieces if they are placed badly. ~ Ashot Nadanian
Pawns quotes by Ashot Nadanian
He hated games they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves. ~ Terry Pratchett
Pawns quotes by Terry Pratchett
Children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. ~ Jay Carney
Pawns quotes by Jay Carney
The thing about pawns," Emily said, almost to herself, "is if they reach the other end of the board, they become a queen. ~ Lauren Smith
Pawns quotes by Lauren Smith
Endings of one rook and pawns are about the most common sort of endings arising on the chess board. Yet though they do occur so often, few have mastered them thoroughly. They are often of a very difficult nature, and sometimes while apparently very simple they are in reality extremely intricate. ~ Jose Raul Capablanca
Pawns quotes by Jose Raul Capablanca
In real life, the most practical advice for leaders is not to treat pawns like pawns, nor princes like princes, but all persons like persons. ~ James MacGregor Burns
Pawns quotes by James MacGregor Burns
If once a man delays castling and his king remains in the center, files will open up against him, bishops sweep the board, rooks will dominate the seventh rank, and pawns turn into queens. ~ Irving Chernev
Pawns quotes by Irving Chernev
The real question is how much suffering we've caused our womenfolk by turning headscarves into symbols - and using women as pawns in a political game. ~ Orhan Pamuk
Pawns quotes by Orhan Pamuk
There's pawns and rooks and knights and bishops, but only one queen. ~ Penelope Douglas
Pawns quotes by Penelope Douglas
Thunder rolled ... It is said that the gods play games with the lives of men. But what games, and why, and the identities of the actual pawns, and what the game is, and what the rules are - who knows? Best not to speculate. Thunder rolled ... It rolled a six. ~ Terry Pratchett
Pawns quotes by Terry Pratchett
The great World Champions Morphy, Steinitz, and Lasker were past masters in the art of Pawn play; they had no superiors in their handling of endgames. The present World Champion has not the strength of the other three as an endgame player, and is therefore inferior to them. ~ Jose Raul Capablanca
Pawns quotes by Jose Raul Capablanca
I look upon you as so many pawns, as inanimate pawns. ~ Anton Chekhov
Pawns quotes by Anton Chekhov
In a rook and pawn ending, the rook must be used aggressively. It must either attack enemy pawns, or give active support to the advance of one of its own pawns to the queening square. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Pawns quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
Even captains were pawns to the lords of the sea, who moved them – and sacrificed them – wither they would. ~ M. Kei
Pawns quotes by M. Kei
Let the pawns make their moves. ~ Ernest Dempsey
Pawns quotes by Ernest Dempsey
The business of the endgame is maneuvring to control critical squares, advancing or blockading passed pawns, preparing a breakthrough by the king, or exploiting the subtle superiority of one piece over another. ~ Pal Benko
Pawns quotes by Pal Benko
Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I'll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play. ~ Junior Seau
Pawns quotes by Junior Seau
But there is a critical point about differences between individuals that exerts arguably more influence on worker productivity than any other. The factor is locus of control, a fancy name for how people view their autonomy and agency in the world. People with an internal locus of control believe that they are responsible for (or at least can influence) their own fates and life outcomes. They may or may not feel they are leaders, but they feel that they are essentially in charge of their lives. Those with an external locus of control see themselves as relatively powerless pawns in some game played by others; they believe that other people, environmental forces, the weather, malevolent gods, the alignment of celestial bodies
basically any and all external events
exert the most influence on their lives. ~ Daniel J. Levitin
Pawns quotes by Daniel J. Levitin
Costa Rica and Germany have simply been pawns in the Japanese quest to silence Sea Shepherd in an attempt to stop our annual opposition of their illegal whaling activities. ~ Paul Watson
Pawns quotes by Paul Watson
Having marshalled the men in battle order, as shown in the first diagram, you will observe that each party has two ranks of men, on the first of which stand the superior Pieces, and on the next the eight Pawns. ~ Howard Staunton
Pawns quotes by Howard Staunton
King Yorandt to Kristina in book three of Fracture the Secret Enemy Saga~Secrets
release date: Summer 2014

Even the master does not play perfectly. He can only hope to make fewer mistakes than his opponent, and that in the end, he is the victor. Sajah (chess) is a ruthless game where the pieces are all pawns and the Queen is the true killer.
She spares no one to protect the king. The king however, is ruled by all of the pieces that lay before him, even his opponent. Every move is a decision that can change the whole board, and the endgame. ~ Virginia McKevitt
Pawns quotes by Virginia McKevitt
When mortality is the equation, we are but pawns in a game. ~ Dianna Hardy
Pawns quotes by Dianna Hardy
A knight ending is really a pawn ending. ~ Mikhail Botvinnik
Pawns quotes by Mikhail Botvinnik
The pawn is the soul of chess. ~ Francois-Andre Danican Philidor
Pawns quotes by Francois-Andre Danican Philidor
I had to pawn my clothes just to pay my rent. ~ Ray Charles
Pawns quotes by Ray Charles
See how the world (whose chaste and pregnant womb Of late conceiv'd, and brought forth nothing ill) Is now degenerated, and become A base adult'ress, whose false births do fill The earth with monsters, monsters that do roam And rage about, and make a trade to kill: Now glutt'ny paunches, and avarice a pawn; Pale envy pines, pride swells, and sloth begins to yawn. ~ Francis Quarles
Pawns quotes by Francis Quarles
This is why I never wanted to know what really happened on 9/11. This is so awful, I can't believe what we are saying, but it makes so much more sense than the government's official story. People in our own government arranged this. The entire event, all the people, were just pawns in their game and they played the public as fools. And worst yet, if anyone questioned their story, they were made to look and feel like a terrorist or an unpatriotic traitor. If you follow the money, it's easy to see that not one Arab country has benefited from this event. ~ Rebekah Roth
Pawns quotes by Rebekah Roth
And his six pawns were scattered like the ships of the Armada that should have conquered England; the Lord blew, and they were all isolated. ~ Hans Kmoch
Pawns quotes by Hans Kmoch
In the ending the king is a powerful piece for assisting his own pawns, or stopping the adverse pawns. ~ Wilhelm Steinitz
Pawns quotes by Wilhelm Steinitz
They hate because they fear, and they fear because they feel that the deepest feelings of their lives are being assaulted and outraged. And they do not know why; they are powerless pawns in a blind play of social forces. ~ Richard Wright
Pawns quotes by Richard Wright
I've been in prison, you see. Only three weeks, and only on remand,but when you've had to play chess twice a day with a monosyllabic West Ham supporter, who has 'HATE' tattooed on one hand, and 'HATE' on the other - using a set missing six pawns, all the rooks and two of the bishops - you find yourself cherishing little things in life. Like not being in prison. ~ Hugh Laurie
Pawns quotes by Hugh Laurie
We have as a nation been duped by those who use our guilt about how we treated the innocent pawns in the Vietnam War game - the soldiers - into missing the point once again about the utter senselessness that is war. ~ Steven Weber
Pawns quotes by Steven Weber
Actors are always the pawns. They're the last ones in the food chain. ~ Patricia Mauceri
Pawns quotes by Patricia Mauceri
You're a Dark One," said Anton. "All you see in everything is evil, treachery, trickery."

"All I do is not close my eyes to them," Edgar retorted. "And that's why I don't trust Zabulon. I distrust him almost as much as I do Gesar. I can even trust you more - you're just another unfortunate chess piece who happens by chance to be painted a different color from me. Does a white pawn hate a black one? No. Especially if the two pawns have their heads down together over a quiet beer or two."

"You know," Anton said in a slightly surprised voice, "I just don't understand how you can carry on living if you see the world like that. I'd just go and hang myself."

"So you don't have any counterarguments to offer?"

Anton took a gulp of beer too. The wonderful thing about this natural Czech beer was that even if you drank lots of it, it still didn't make your head or your body feel heavy... Or was that an illusion?

"Not a single one," Anton admitted. "Right now, this very moment, not a single one. But I'm sure you're wrong. It's just difficult to argue about the colors of the rainbow with a blind man. There's something missing in you... I don't know what exactly. But it's something very important, and without it you're more helpless than a blind man. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Pawns quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
I failed to make the chess team because of my height. ~ Woody Allen
Pawns quotes by Woody Allen
Whatever the source of the leader's ideas, he cannot inspire his people unless he expresses vivid goals which in some sense they want. Of course, the more closely he meets their needs, the less "persuasive" he has to be, but in no case does it make sense to speak as if his role is force submission. Rather it is to strengthen and uplift, to make people feel that they are the origins, not the pawns, of the socio-political system. ~ David McClelland
Pawns quotes by David McClelland
When human beings give their heartfelt allegiance to and worship that which is not God, they progressively cease to reflect the image of God. One of the primary laws of human life is that you become like what you worship; what's more, you reflect what you worship not only to the object itself but also outward to the world around. Those who worship money increasingly define themselves in terms of it and increasingly treat other people as creditors, debtors, partners, or customers rather than as human beings. Those who worship sex define themselves in terms of it (their preferences, their practices, their past histories) and increasingly treat other people as actual or potential sex objects. Those who worship power define themselves in terms of it and treat other people as either collaborators, competitors, or pawns. These and many other forms of idolatry combine in a thousand ways, all of them damaging to the image-bearing quality of the people concerned and of those whose lives they touch. ~ N.T. Wright
Pawns quotes by N.T. Wright
God has made us as pawns... when he is bored of playing with us on the playground he just remove us... so what we to do now???
To move less, to move more???
