One of my favourite chess books. I have checked out a few similar overviews of openings, and this is by far the best, in my opinion. I've always been looking for a book that covers all openings and doesn't just give the lines (there's opening databas

“Für jene, die in das Erscheinungsbild ‚normalen’ Verhaltens hineinschlüpfen, weil sie die Spannung der Widersprüche zwischen der auferlegten Realität und ihrer inneren Welt nicht ertragen, für solche Menschen gibt es bald keine wirklichen Gefühle mehr. Stattdessen gehen sie mit Ideen von Gefühlen um, haben keine Erfahrung mehr mit ihnen. Sie präsentieren aufgesetzte Gefühle und sagen sich von ihren wahren Gefühlen los. Je ‚gesünder’ das Image der Identität, das sie angenommen haben, desto erfolgreicher werden sie diese Manipulation vollziehen können. Und es ist Manipulation, da ihr Ziel nicht der Ausdruck ihrer selbst ist, sondern den andern zu überzeugen, dass sie angemessen handeln, denken und fühlen.”

“There is in the word pedagogy the suggestion of certain goals that the charge is meant to achieve--and this limits his or her possibilities for development from the start. But an honest rejection of all forms of manipulation and of the idea of setting goals does not mean that one simply leaves children to their own devices. For children need a large measure of emotional and physical support from the adult. This support must include the following elements if they are to develop their full potential:
1. Respect for the child
2. Respect for his rights
3. Tolerance for his feelings
4. Willingness to learn from his behavior:
a. About the nature of the individual child
b. About the child in the parents themselves
c. About the nature of emotional life, which can be observed much more clearly in the child than in the adult because the child can experience his feelings much more intensely and, optimally, more undisguisedly than an adult
There is evidence among the younger generation that this kind of willingness is possible even for people who were themselves victims of child-rearing.”

“The history of childhood is a nightmare from which we have only recently begun to awaken.”

“Die Lektion des Nazitums ist nicht nur eine Geschichtslektion über Machtpolitik, Gier, Größenwahn und über das Böse, sondern sie lehrt auch, was Männer und Frauen zu tun imstande sind, wenn sie keine Beziehung zu ihrem inneren Sein haben. Dies zu erkennen könnte dazu beitragen, uns heute vor Ähnlichem zu bewahren. Denn solche Menschen sind nach wie vor überall unter uns. Statt politischen Ideologien folgen sie heute zum Beispiel den Gesetzen des geschäftlichen Erfolges.”
