“Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe!” – Indian Proverb
“Chess like love like music has the power to make men happy” (Tarrasch,1935).
“Similar to the feeling of love, chess makes you blissfully happy all the time.”
“People love adventures. Each game of chess is one such adventure.”
note: I’m reading an article in the Chessbase entitled, Understanding my passion for chess, by Prof.Lakshmi Narayana, link chess. I share a similar passion for chess.

I do not play chess and have never learned to enjoy any games of strategy, but recently I read a whole chapter about chess by Viswanathan Anand, in a book about various aspects of India, and I quoted from him here: https://gretchenjoanna.com/2018/02/12/cultural-studies-in-a-flurry/
It was interesting that your first quote was an Indian proverb! All of those quotes make it clear that the game is a wonderful gift in your life!
