    “قد مارستُ لعبة الشطرنج واستمتعت بها إلى الحد الذي دفعني إلى اقتناء كتاب يحتوي على أهم المباريات الدولية لهذه اللعبة. ومن سمة هذه المباريات أن أحد اللاعبين يستسلم قبل نهاية المباراة بعدد من التحريكات قد يقترب من العشرة قبل أن يقال له كش ملك بصفة نهائية. ومعني ذلك أن أحد اللاعبين قد فطن إلى أنه لن يفلت من الهزيمة فاستسلم. والمفارقة هنا أن ثمة حرية للاعبين في بداية المباراة، أي أن ثمة اختيارًا في أن يحرك هذه القطعة أو تلك، ولكن ثمة لحظة يحرك فيها اللاعب قطعة ويكون هذا التحريك بداية لإغراء الخصم بتحريك مضاد يفضي بالضرورة إلى إنهاء المباراة لغير صالحه بعد عدة تحريكات. ومعني ذلك أننا نبدأ بالحرية وننتهي إلى الضرورة.”

    Sigmund Freud
    “Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear.

But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.”
