The Direction of Play Quotes

“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.”
― Kajiwara Takeo, The Direction of Play

“No, stones are something more - they are instruments of power.”
― Kajiwara Takeo, The Direction of Play

“If you put your mind to something and persevere in an effort to improve, the day will come when it all seems to click, no matter whether that day comes later rather than sooner. As the proverb says, 'Great talents mature late'.”
― Kajiwara Takeo, The Direction of Play
