More quotes by Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
I was in Japan a couple of months ago, I saw a preview for the movie Pearl Harbor. And they showed the Japanese airplanes coming in to bomb Pearl Harbor, and I applauded. Nobody else in the theater applauded.
Bobby Fischer
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
Bobby Fischer
I was never invited to the White House.
Bobby Fischer
She and I just don't see eye to eye together. She's a square. She keeps telling me that I'm too interested in chess, that I should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that I should finish high school and all that nonsense. She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, you know, so I had to get rid of her.
Bobby Fischer
Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.
Bobby Fischer
Americans like a winner. If you lose, you're nothing. I'm going to win, though. It's good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We've met five times. He's won three times and we've drawn twice. But I'm a stronger player and a long match favors me.
Bobby Fischer
I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, '84-'85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.
Bobby Fischer
When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
Bobby Fischer
I add status to any tournament I attend.
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves
Bobby Fischer
It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
Bobby Fischer
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
Bobby Fischer
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Bobby Fischer
I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
Bobby Fischer
When I win, I'll put my title on the line every year, maybe even twice. I'll give players a chance to beat me.
Bobby Fischer
FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.
Bobby Fischer
Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.
Bobby Fischer
Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer
I'd like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.
