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

Nothing is so healing as the human touch.

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

Chess is life.

I am boring. I am boring!

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.

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

All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.

I don't believe in psychology.

I don't listen to weakies.

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

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

I don't believe in hero worship.

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.
