“Ai taught me a Terran game played on squares with little stones, called go, an excellent difficult game.” GoBadukWéiqí Author:Ursula K. LeGuin
“Every time you place a stone on the board you are exposing something of yourself. It is not just a piece of slate, shell or plastic. You have entrusted to that stone your feelings, your individuality, your will power, and once it is played there is no going back. Each stone carries a great responsibility on your behalf.” GoIgoBadukWeiqi Book:The Direction of Play Source: The Direction of Play
“While the Baroque rules of Chess could only have been created by humans, the rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play Go.” GoIgoBadukWeiqi Author:Edward Lasker
