I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible.

And, not only in Budapest. I worked very closely with a very powerful government organization, which shall remain unidentified, to develop the mass marketed version of the Cube.

Once I completed the Cube and demonstrated it to my students, I realized it was nearly impossible to put down.

Usually we are saying only part of the truth.

A good puzzle, it's a fair thing. Nobody is lying. It's very clear, and the problem depends just on you.

I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible.

The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life.

The Cube is an imitation of life itself - or even an improvement on life.

Our whole life is solving puzzles.

It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.

This was such an extraordinary situation that I simply could not accept it.

I do not truly consider myself an icon, but the Cube has been quite successful.

I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.

Now, after the Cube, I still don't have any plans to make anything like it.

We turn the Cube and it twists us.

I want to try to keep my life the same.

In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.

I did not plan to make the Cube.

But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.

The Cube can seem alive as it heats up in your hand. The fact that each face of the Cube is made of three layers of three blocks has an important meaning.

Yes, but with the Cube there are many flashes, there are many aha's.

I'm still the same person, thinking the same way, so it's possible I will invent something.

Like after a nice walk when you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go home, after a while I decided it was time to go home, let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at that moment that I came face to face with the Big Challenge: What is the way home?

I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.

But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.

Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

There are those, I know, who will reply that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American Dream.

Well, after I had the heart attack, it was a very simple choice. What the doctor told me I did and I did it religiously. I ate nothing but lean turkey breast or chicken breast or a piece of fish that was very lean. I mean I stayed away from everything.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.

There's nothing worse than talking about yourself to find out that you're not that interesting.

In the kingdom of heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours. Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing.

If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.

There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the Establishment - and nothing more corrupting.

There is sometimes a peculiar confusion in the West that equates progress to whatever is recent or whatever is new, and it is time we understood that progress has nothing to do with the chronology of an idea.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

Nothing is ever guaranteed, and all that came before doesn't predicate what you might do next.

There ain't nothing from the outside that can lick any of us.

Love is seeing without eyes, hearing without ears; hatred is nothing.

Nothing is harder to direct than a man in prosperity; nothing more easily managed that one is adversity.

Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.

There's nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
