Quote that got me depressed
I got the chessville newsletter today, and I read the following quote and went into a sort of a depression. I have only one life to live, and I am unable to give it over to chess. I will just be someone who putters around with it.

I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got.

– Walter Cronkite
