Here is the only truth: "We are the
pawns of the mysterious game of chess played by God, who moves
us, stops us, shifts us ahead, and soon picks us up
one after the other and gathers us in the same box of Nothing."

shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence
of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected."

Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go
mad; but chess-players do".
