Dark is nothing to be afraid of. 

In fact, There's nothing to be afraid of. Anywhere. 

The strongest person is the person who isn't scared to be alone. 


It's other people you got to worry about. 
Other people. They'll tell you what to do, how to feel. 
Before you know it, you're pouring your life out in search of something other people told you to go look for. 
Someday, you're gonna be all alone, so you need to figure out how to take care of yourself. 


You're stubborn, so you get mad. 
When that happens, you can only see what's right in front of you. 
Anger is a potent spice.  
A pinch wakes you up, too much dulls your senses. 

But the point is still valid. 
You've got to stay open. 
If you get locked into one idea, it's death. 


"In a fight, you want the first blow to be the last. 
And you better be the one to throw it."

Attackers may sometimes regret their moves, 
but it is much worse to forever regret an opportunity you allowed to pass you by. 


It's not always about attacking. 
Sometimes, it's much better to take a piece back. 


I can fight against anyone but time. 


"It's foolish to run the risk of going mad for vanity's sake."


You look at his games, the way he played. 
He sacrificed knights & bishops like he had a dozen instead of two, and then he'd move in on the king so fast, his opponents would just freeze up. 


Most players, they lack the courage in their convictions. 
The key is to not be tentative. 
You have to play with absolute confidence. 
I can tell, on the first move, whether someone's got that or they don't just from how they move that first piece.
