If you are curious, you'll find the puzzles around you. If you are determined, you will solve them.
A good puzzle, it's a fair thing. Nobody is lying. It's very clear, and the problem depends just on you.
We turn the Cube and it twists us.
The Cube is, at the same time, a symbol of simplicity and complexity.
When you are studying from a book, lots of people go straight to the end to look for the answers. But that's not my style. For me, the most enjoyable part is the puzzle, the process of solving, not the solution itself.
Our whole life is solving puzzles.
I'm still the same person, thinking the same way, so it's possible I will invent something.
If you are not able to do something, that is true for the present, not for the future. All the time there's a chance to go a step further. Not to be frustrated.
The Cube is an imitation of life itself - or even an improvement on life.
If you find a solution with the Cube, it doesn't mean you find everything. It's only a starting point. You can work on and find something else: you can improve your solution, you can make it shorter, you can go deeper and deeper and collect knowledge and many other things.
The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life.
The Cube can seem alive as it heats up in your hand. The fact that each face of the Cube is made of three layers of three blocks has an important meaning.
It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.
I love the simplicity of the Cube because it's a very clear geometrical shape, and I love geometry because it's the study of how the whole universe is structured.
I don't want to say too many words about the magic of the Cube, because it's basically a mystery. It's like the Mona Lisa smile. It's both complex and very simple at the same time. And, well, people like it. Even today.
Complex things, if you don't understand them, it seems complicated. If you understand them, and we know how to handle it, it became simple.
But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.
I feel more like a father to a child: my Cube inspired thousands of 'twisty puzzles,' and I'm amazed how it continues to excite new generations.
I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.
In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.
