I don’t keep any close friends. I don’t keep any secrets. I don’t need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that’s all.

Bobby Fischer

I don’t believe in wasting time. My goal is to win the World Chess Championship; to beat the Russians. I take this very seriously.

Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind.

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.
