Alma Weatley – Character Quotes

My tranquility needs to be refurbished.

— What are you doing?
— Replaying my earlier games.
— What on earth for?
— Looking for weaknesses in my play.
— I see. And?
— There aren’t any.

I’ve noticed the moves they applaud the loudest are the ones you make rather quickly. And there’s a certain look on your face. Intuition can’t be found in books.

I don't know why my body is so intent on sabotaging my brain, when my brain is perfectly capable of sabotaging itself.

What you know is not always important.

— I didn’t see what he was doing.
— You can’t finesse everything all the time. Nobody can.
— You don’t know anything about chess.
— I know what it feels like to lose.
— Yeah, I bet you do.
— And now you do, too.
