Quotation Time: Identify and Discuss
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1204526716.shtml


   Here's an initial offering in what might develop into a regular theme
   on this blog: I'll present a quotation without attribution, and you're
   invited/challenged to identify its source. (Thoughtful) Comments on
   the quotation are welcome as well.

     I always want to be first. If I were not a chess player, I would
     want to be first in whatever I was doing. And even more in chess -
     otherwise it would be silly to play seriously. If you are not
     first, it means you have been defeated. And who wants to be a
     loser?
