We turn the Cube and it twists us.

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.

I want to try to keep my life the same.

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

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.

While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

The difference between great actors and the rest of us isn't simply that they know how to make more out of less, but that, like lions at the watering hole, they will always take more than their share from the pool of available resources - extra air from the room, added knowledge from our faces.

This illuminates not only fans' interest in major league teams but also the minors and even Little League.

I can choose to let it define me, confine me, refine me, outshine me - or I can choose to move on and leave them behind me.

The piano is a reasonably quiet instrument, and I suppose it's quite strange to have it with such loud music.

Running allows me to set my mind free. Nothing seems impossible. Nothing unattainable.

Because the more you write the more you're aware of the weight of your tradition and the difficulties of the form and the more you have already done that you do not want to do again.

We have to go and show these people what classical music is. We say sometimes that classical music has a small audience, but it's because people don't have the chance to be closer to it.
