My favorite chess quote:

"The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."

I find this to be very valid.

Is doing something you love, and practicing to the point of expertise, wasting your life? Replace chess with playing an instrument, or basketball. This quote is just exclusionary.
