It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon.

I sleep well. It's the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence.

Life is composed of different inventions.

It is the Germans who are responsible for the fact that I became a fabricator of arms. If not for them, I would have constructed agricultural machines. (...) If someone asks me how I can sleep at night knowing that my arms have killed millions of people, I respond that I have no problem sleeping, my conscience is clean. I constructed arms to defend my country.

I wanted to invent an engine that could run for ever. I could have developed a new train, had I stayed in the railway. It would have looked like the AK-47 though.
