#Fundamentals Quotes

“Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy.”
“Capablanca did not apply himself to opening theory (in which he never therefore achieved much), but delved deeply into the study of end-games and other simple positions which respond to technique rather than to imagination.”
“One of the things I like about my profession, and that I find healthy, is that one constantly has to break oneself to pieces.”
“The folks who want to be left alone are the ones who actually get most of the work done, but theyâ€™re still mocked as drones or beavers or trolls. Thatâ€™s bad enough, but now technology is helping the extroverts in their long twilight campaign against actually concentrating on anything.”

“If... [Alban] Berg departs so radically from tradition, through his substitution of a symmetrical partitioning of the octave for the asymmetrical partionings of the major/minor system, he departs just as radically from the twelve-tone tradition that is represented in the music of Schoenberg and Webern, for whom the twelve-tone series was always an integral structure that could be transposed only as a unit, and for whom twelve-tone music always implied a constant and equivalent circulation of the totality of pitch classes.”

“Here I come to one of the memoir writer's difficulties -- one of the reasons why, though I read so many, so many are failures. They leave out the person to whom things happened. The reason is that it is so difficult to describe any human being. So they say: 'This is what happened'; but they do not say what the person was like to whom it happened. And the events mean very little unless we know first to whom they happened.”
“As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. Youâ€™re not thinking about loving; youâ€™re just being love, radiating like the sun.”
“Making fake promises while wearing a fancy dress... that isn't enough. Promises take more work than that.”
