Quotes 

• Miss Jean Blake : Do you imagine that you saw the king as a father, and the queen as a mother? I mean, one to attack, one to protect?

  Beth Harmon : They're just pieces. And anyway it was the board I noticed first.

  Miss Jean Blake : The board?

  Beth Harmon : Yes. It's an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it, I can dominate it. And it's predictable. So if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.

• Miss Jean Blake : Creativity and psychosis often go hand in hand. Or, for that matter, genius and madness.
