“Life's temptations have the purpose of putting our spiritual integrity to the test. To yield to them, however, gives one a precarious and tormented satisfaction. But the worst temptations are those we give in to without getting anything in return except for the brutal discovery of our weakness.”
Paolo Maurensig

“Ma che cos’è la perfezione? È il punto di fuga di una strada senza fine, è il miraggio che si sposta davanti a noi, è l’ultimo piolo di una scala circolare.
La perfezione ha a che fare con l’infinito, ma l’infinito non è solo l’infinitamente grande. C’è anche l’infinitamente piccolo. La perfezione può richiamare l’idea di movimento, ma anche l’idea di rallentamento. La ricerca della perfezione procede con un ritmo che rallenta all’infinito. È una progressione continua che tuttavia si riduce a mano a mano che si avvicina alla meta.”
Paolo Maurensig, Canone inverso

“They say that chess was born in bloodshed.”
Paolo Maurensig, La variante di Lüneburg
