I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.

More quotes by Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
Bobby Fischer
As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.
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
I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.
Bobby Fischer
Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer
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 add status to any tournament I attend.
Bobby Fischer
Alekhine developed as a player much more slowly than most. In his twenties, he was an atrocious chessplayer, and didn't mature until he was well into his thirties.
Bobby Fischer
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer
There's no one alive I can't beat.
Bobby Fischer
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
The system set up by F.I.D.E. ... Insures that there will always be a Russian world champion... The Russians arranged it that way.
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his ooponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending.
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in hero worship.
Bobby Fischer
Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer
Chess is like war on a board
Bobby Fischer
I don't listen to weakies.
