Quote by Aljean Harmetz

“The solitary chess game Rick is playing when the camera first focuses on him in Casablanca was a real game Bogart was playing by mail with Irving Kovner of Brooklyn. Bogart would play chess with anyone at any time, and, when he was making Casablanca he was also doing his patriotic duty by playing a number of mail games with sailors in the U.S. Navy. Whatever the quality of his game, Bogart loved chess. "I enjoy chess because there's no luck to it," he told Ezra Goodman.”

“There may come a day when some Least Generation of Americans finally surrenders to sloth and envy and throws away all that has been bought by long years of labor and toil, lifetimes of accumulated treasure, centuries of accumulated wisdom, and, ultimately, the life-blood of countless patriots. “What we have to ask ourselves—you and I, right here and right now—is whether we are that generation, and whether that day is today.” -Jake O’Connor in The Very Last War by WH Hawthorne”

“Time is Illusion (The Sonnet) Time is a necessary illusion, forged from the fabric of memory, meant for adding coherence to life, so that you're mindful of your duty. Body cannot survive in the vacuum of space, Mind cannot survive in the vacuum of time. Brain cannot survive in the vacuum of skull, So it floats about in the fluid of spine. Memory makes the past, memory makes future, Memory is the bedrock of the time psyche. Physical time is irrelevant to the mind, Mind creates its own domain of temporality. Time is a myth, that aids us survive. Master the myth, o divine maker - Time and tide are born inside!”
