All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.

I like the moment when I break a man's ego.

Chess is life.

America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia.

All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.

All I want to do, ever, is play chess.

Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.

I am boring. I am boring!

I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.

I don't believe in hero worship.

I don't believe in psychology.

I don't listen to weakies.

I don't remember one thing I learned in school.

I don't want to look like a bum.

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.

I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.

I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.

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

I was never invited to the White House.

Nobody has single-handedly done more for the U.S. than me.

Nothing is so healing as the human touch.

Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.

The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them, for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them.

The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.

There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knights-odds to and still beat.

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.

When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.

I like the moment when I break a man’s ego.

Chess is like war on a board.

Chess demands total concentration.

You can only get good at Chess if you love the game.

Thats what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson the next day he gives you one.

Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it.

There is a strong tendency in explanatory prose to invoke quantities of tension, energy, and whatnot to explain the genesis of pattern. I believe that all such explanations are inappropriate or wrong.

Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.

Change has long been a fearful thing for human beings ... and at the same time it is our most Divine opportunity. Clinging to the banks of the river may seem safe and more secure but lifes possibilities are truly engaged only when we trust release and become part of The Flow of the Universe.

Fathers can seem powerful and overwhelming to their daughters. Let her see your soft side. Express your feelings and reactions. Te ll her where you came from and how you got there. Let her see that you have had fears failures anxious times hurts just like hers even though you may look flawless to her.

Before the camera, you only had secondhand takes - someone had to tell you what they saw or draw a picture of it or sing a song. Because of the camera, sometimes to our horror, we now know everything that happens in the world - things that before we were sheltered from.

'Nation' was one that I'd have killed myself if I hadn't written it. It was absolutely important to me that I wrote it. It was good for my soul.

I love Nelly. He's such a great performer. He's so hyper and so am I.

My daughter is one of my greatest inspirations. She's an environmentalist, she plays piano, she's raising money for the earthquake victims in Nepal. Every day she surprises me and teaches me something.

My weekends are spent hidden in the woods, and then I have to come back and pretend to be this very upper-crust insurance investigator. But, I mean, duality's nice. You never get bored. You can't say the grass is always greener if you're in both backyards.

You can't do the end of the world in a conventionally dramatic way or Boy Meets Girl way.

I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.

I'm sure that Elvis was happy for me. I think he was the kind of guy that enjoyed other people's success, especially if he had something to do with it.

As I grew steadily more comfortable in the kitchen, I found that, much like gardening, most cooking manages to be agreeably absorbing without being too demanding intellectually. It leaves plenty of mental space for daydreaming and reflection.
