“I am not prejudiced in any way.”

Bike is the most democratic transport vehicle. Bike is the most daring, challenging as it gives its owner the tempting feeling of freedom, that is why one can say without any exaggeration, bike is a symbol of freedom.

I have a private life in which I do not permit interference. It must be respected.

Politics should not interfere with sports. And sports should impact politics.

My personal position is that society must keep children safe.

I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart.

Russia is the biggest country in the world. It would be very difficult to surround it, and the world is changing so fast that it would basically be impossible, even in theory.

Protest actions and propaganda are two slightly different things.

U.S. society doesn’t want to play the role of international policeman.

I am the wealthiest man, not just in Europe, but in the whole world.

I have always reacted negatively to those who with their snotty noses and erotic fantasies prowl into others’ lives.

The democratic choice Russian people made in the early 90’s is final.

A considerable share of the world’s population still cannot afford comfortable housing, education and quality health care.

No one should be allowed to violently trample on the law.

Nobody should pin their hopes on a miracle.

It is necessary to suppress any extremist actions, on all sides, regardless of their origin.

It is wrong to make anyone into an enemy; it is wrong to scare the people of one’s own country with that enemy and try to rally some allies on that basis.

The great obstacle to progress is prejudice.

Prejudice and bigotry are brought down…by the sheer force of determination of individuals to succeed and the refusal of a human being to let prejudice define the parameters of the possible.

The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.

Freaks, they are very prejudiced. You have to have your hair long and talk in a certain way in order to be with them. In order to be the other way you have to have your hair short and wear ties.

What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

My own prejudices are exactly the opposite of the functionalists’: “If you want to understand function, study structure”.

Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.

Reason is always weak where prejudice is strong.
