I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.
Bobby Fischer
I don't listen to weakies.
Bobby Fischer
The Russians have held my title for ten years and they're going to be in for it when I win the Championship. They're going to have to wait and play under my conditions.
Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer
Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.

Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
