I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.

I don't keep any close friends. I don't keep any secrets. I don't need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that's all.

I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

Nothing is so healing as the human touch.

Psychologically, you have to have confidence in yourself and this confidence should be based on fact.

If you don't win, it's not a great tragedy - the worst that happens is that you lose a game.

I don't like to dwell on the past. I'm interested in Fischerandom now, I am working on a new clock, I'm trying to make chess a more exciting game today. I am not interested in sitting in my rocking chair thinking what I did 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
